I got a used set of eibach from a member here, for $120 shipped. I also got a rear camber kit for $50 i think. The shop I went to installed the springs & cambers for less than $200 but they didnt do a camber alignment.

this was mine with an Eibach Prokit (1") I never got the camber kit aligned so i didnt even need them...

are you serious? $200 on install is normal? i paid $80 for my install, and now i know how to install springs/shocks on my own, it's just i'm tool-less to do it though.

holy crap and i thought i got screwed paying $450 for springs, camber kit, AND alignment! yes you must have a camber kit and get a full wheel alignment once everything is on. And I went to an expensive shop damn.

What I would be worried about is takin it to a shop that tells you that you don't need a camber kit.they are supposed to be professionals they should know you need a camber kit.
