Dave, before i dropped my 2K DAK CC I researched drop kits, I found that to
many lwr drop arms start to crack at the welds, from driving on the city
streets and hiways,too much stress, so i used the drop springs 2" for the
front and 3 inch drop leafs for the rear. along with quality gas charged
shocks made for drop suspension. I purchased this kit from
www.hotchkis.com comes with everything. To this day and lots of mileage i
am very happy with my decision. Good luck on your decision. P.S. the DAKS
look awsome dropped.
