About 50 bucks per wheel well is average. $150 bucks is a good deal though. You can do it urself if you have the right tools. There is a DIY on the site if you want to do it yourself.

ohsnapsjay08 will become famous soon enough
spc ftw or megan will do also. (and if you wanna save, i highly doubt it you would need to use front so just buy the rear.) DIY is nice, but i actually got my Coilover installed for 100bucks from this one car shop. but some people says thats too much some says a good deal. but for me its a matter of learning something from that guy, his actually telling me what to do and what not. and when i had a problem after install like a day later when back to that shop and he help me out and now everything is a ok.. i guess its matter of finding the right shop for you and where you can learn something at thesame time. but DIY is always fun just like what i do in my I.H.E (intake header exhaust) and some other stuff.

well it depends

camber kit and full coilovers
camber kit, shocks and coilovers
camber kit, shocks and springs

or if you dont want new shocks you can just get springs but i suggest you get shocks also, always wanna do things right the first time since the stocks have a risk of blowing if you go too low.

Okay... so check this out... you guys said that some shops did it for $100-$150? I went to NTB (Nation Tire & Battery) They quoted me $675 with an alignment... Now this just seems a little fishy to me...

Don't go to a retail shop like pep boys or in this case Nation Tire and Battery. A performance shop that specializes in imports will give you these lower prices. For example a shop like Stage 2 Performance. In most cases ppl have friends that work at shops and get hookups so you're not raped on the labour.
