If you know nothing, call Turner, Bavauto etc and tell them what your goals are. They can recommend a solution.

ok i have figured out that its just a coilover sleeve kit... thoughts?

If you go cheap you'll get cheap. Get something respectable. KW, Bilstein, H&R, F2, GC or even Tein SS.

If you actually get those things to work, you're going to end up replacing your shocks and struts quicker then you normally would. That, and the ride quality is going to be garbage. You want adjustable height and possibly dampening and rebound..get a full coilover setup.

yeah, go for a full coilover setup.
the cheaper ones for non-M would be Bilstein or Tein or ST.

I agree. If you are going to do it once, do it right. Those coilover sleeves are going to destroy your shocks very quickly. Then you will end up spending more money on labor for changing out your shocks. I recommend going with KW or ST coilovers. Let me know if you need any help or if you have any questions.

KW coilovers



ST coilovers
