first of all, u can't just buy coilovers for just the front. u gotta buy the set of 4

secondly, with any kind of drop, it will lead to more stress on your front struts and in an end result reducing the lifetime of ur srtuts

if you want something to last the life of the car, try looking into the suspension products that will be coming out in the near future like the tien full suspension, the one norcal is thinking of making and of couse the kit made by JIC. the prices are a lil pricey but u get what u pay for.

lastly changing the heigh of the car is the easy part. the only problem is, is that u gotta get an alignment everytime u do that. if u want soemthing that u can change the height of at anytmie and not worry about alignment, think about bags

well there are alot of places you can get them but I would check the forsale forums and get a set of used ones. no need in buying struts and coilovers brand new just to use the 2 fronts.
