yes or u can adjust em coilovers. u need to jackup d car then twist it to wateva u want.
reason i suggest coilovers is because when u lower ur car more than 1.5" drop, u most likely blow the stock shockers. so hence just do it right and get full coilovers.
coz if the shocks blow, ur car will ride like a boat and obviously u dont want that, unless u like going into a tree or sumshit.

do it this way mate, guards+coilovers+rims.
