Vu,

Your car has relatively low miles so shocks and bushings will have little wear and probably don't need replacing. Unless you want to upgrade these items (shocks, t-bars, bushings) for a sportier ride, I'd leave them alone for now.

The front is super easy to lower with the torsion bar adjusters. 30 minutes max to lower a bit, bounce, measure and repeat until its where you want it.

Depending on how much adjustment room you have in the spring plates, you may be able to get to your desired height. If not, the plates will have to come out and t-bars reindexed. Maybe 3-4 hours to get it just right. This is a good time to inspect/replace the stock spring plate bushings with Neatrix.

A corner balance is a good idea when all done.
