like it says on the site about 1.75 in front and little over 2 in the rear it handles alot better and looks awesome in my opinion.

the ride is better than stock, No you do not have to buy anything else unless you want to adjust front camber, but most people do not bother with it. I did only because I have an alignment machine at my shop. If you do springs all around the only hard part will be the front because you have to compress the springs to install on the strut. good luck you will love the look and ride
