just some quick advice on lowering...
ok so i'm going to lower my 4-door b13 and i already have road magnet springs and kyb agx struts along with new dust boots...now do i need new bumpstops also? i read the suspension thread but i wasn't too sure if i needed em or not

Yep. You can use them no problem. You might want to cut them shorter though, so getting the front dust boots with the removable bump stops makes modification easier.
You don't absolutely need new ones, but yours are probably running pretty ragged, so getting fresh ones (OEM with the dust boots) or aftermarket (Koni) is a good idea.
I would find out the length of the Koni's you have... You should be good with 45MM. I got some 55MM and cut mine down about 1/2". I think in the 5 years I have had them on the car I have bottom out once. Mind you this was on a b14
