Can you give us more details in terms of what you are lowering with, who you plan on buying it from, etc. If you are just paying for install then it should be around $200+cost of alignment.

i say $150 is a cheap price...if you really think about it it takes a lot of time to do just springs because dissassembly of the stock strut is required...putting in coilovers with upper mounts is usually cheaper because of the less labor involved
hrmm...i paid $60 just for install. took the guys 45 minutes....rides like a champ. ..just look around im sure youll find something. if you attend meets asks the guys too, oh and i actually have tanabe springs and its a 1.8 drop, pretty smooth if you want to look into something around that height, i dont bottom out or anything and im on stock wheels, doesnt look bad. i dont know what your price range is but tanabe retails at about $200. good luck!

Would you guys think he will need camber kits with a 1.5" drop? Im looking at putting in Ground Control Coilovers and keeping the ride height as close to stock as possible till i get my rims, then a couple weeks after that im going to get koni yellows, then ill prolly drop it 1.5-2 inches. NOt sure yet. I know i will need camber kits but they are kind of expensive for what they are...
just use the DIY, its not nearly as hard as it might seem. I changed out my own springs in about 2 hours with simple hand tools and the DIY. Save yourself some money and learn something new about your car. Tein S Tech ftw! as long as you follow the directions it will come out nice.
