Ok you are new but I will say that you will most likely get the answer you are looking for through the search feature.

Im not going to be like most and leave it at that. If you are looking to go around 2 inches you could get Tein S techns for 180-200 dollars, or just get a coilover setup. Those run around 1000-1500. Any other questions, ask

Re: Car Drop

Also, wether you bring it somewhere or do it yourself....well, that depends on how mechanically inclinded you are currently. I have a friend that works at meineke, so he does the work in exchange for me hanging out and beer.

Re: Car Drop

ok well say you get springs, about 160-200
you should also get Tokico blues wich will run you around 300-400 If I remember.

I am unsure of install prices. For that you should call your local shops and price shop. The links I gave you in PM will help you price out more accurately.

Re: Car Drop

a bit under if you go with struts and springs, and a little bit over if you go with coilovers. Coilovers, while maybe not as comfortable, offer the most adjustment.

Re: Car Drop

Eibach Sports lines $200 or even under (1.4 inch drop which is perfect for our cars !
Tokicos blue $350 shipped on Ebay
Ingalls Camber kit front and rear $150

Total Installation i wud say: +-$300

So yeah A lil over or even under $1000

You can always get the Eibachs and camber kits for now and invest in the shocks later. With Eibachs im guessing u can drive on OEM shocks for an year with one passenger.
(I am driving on Dropzones with Oem shocks which give a 2 inch drop for the past 14 months ... now i think its time to change the shocks, but then again I am single and hardly friends sit in my coupe

Re: Car Drop

I just recently dropped my 05 ex with Skunk2 lowering springs. It gave me a 2 1/2 inch. drop. I was able to install them myself with no problems. They ran about $250.
