btw...you dont need the lowering module for the rear. just get some lowering links. they work just as well and can be had for less that $100.

H&R or KW for lowering the front, and yes links work fine for the rear. As far as the other mods you are making all of the right decisions. Car looks great and will only look better lowered. Only other thing I would suggest is cutting out the resonator and either straight, H, or X Piping it.
