$500 is almost enough for a set of used coil-overs. Don't both with lowering springs. You need added spring rate if you're going low and the stock dampers can't keep up so you need both.

a 149 piece husky tool set that is totally badass, lifetime warranty!
so i think im gonna get the brackets fabbed still and do the battery relocate yet, unless anyone has some ideas.
