Re: new member..just got it...

i say 2 routes depending on your budget.

the cheapest way to drop ur car will cost you 1000 bucks.

the correct way, that is.

springs 300
struts 400
camber kit 150
alignment 80

^thats already $930 without labor.

labor ranges from 100-200 for install.




now....if u want to do it the incorrect way, it will cost you

springs $300
OEM stock struts $0
camber kit $0
lets say labor 100

total: $400 WOW! so cheap!!! yay!

however, a little while down the line, say 6 months:
new tires (because u didnt get an alignment and now have premature wear) $400
camber kit $150
alignment $80
new struts because ur OEM will blow 400
installation $100

total: $1530 and a big headach form waste time/money




the best alternative is to get coilovers because they are much better than springs/strut combo

tein basics 800
camber kit 150
alignment 80

total: $1030 and a great handling that far surpasses spring/strut setup

u get my point?

you pick what you want to do

cheapest way would be to buy used springs from someone for $100 and install it yourself.
