Default Process to lowerin my 01 Accent GL

I'm new to this stuff (suspension and all). Where can I go to get some good background info in lowering a car.

i.e. What all is involved, prices, parts, installation, everything else.

What are my options? Anyone want to consult me?

its a really easy process. all you really need for tools is some sockets and ratchets, or impact wrench if youd like. and some spring compressors. and maybe some wrenches. i did mine with some friends and it only took about 2.5-3 hours. when you start looking at your car, it becomes quite obvious on what bolts and other things need to be taken out to change the springs and stuff. if you need any help im,or email me and id be happy to explain any questions you might have.
