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