Anyone wanna help me?

I need my car to be lowered. I think spending $520 for lowering (Perfessionally) is too expensive I rather have someone that would help me do it or for cheaper. The $520 includes everything springs, rear camber, and alignment with lifetime warranty. The most i will wanna go is $400 but im afraid you get what you pay for.

iamboo is on a distinguished road
DO THIS:

1.) buy goldline springs from Tornactive.com - $130 shipped
2.) go to a good shop and ask them to install them for $40 - $50

this is the cheapest and most efficient way to go... all those other shops that charge over 3 - 400 dollars do the exact same thing as any other shop would and they're just out to get your money...

yea basically get Gold-lines for 130$ shipped + camber kit(130-140$?) Alignment(30$?)so thats roughly 300$. Install the springs yourself and rear camber kit and you're good to go. I'll help you install the springs and let you know what you need to do, but i'm not gonna do it FOR You haha. I think you learn a lot more by working on your car yourself, but i'll be there to lend you a hand here and there. You gotta make sure you have all the tools also or else it just takes way too long.

alot of wheel and tire places charge like $300 for install... a tuner shop will charge 80-120. just cause its $80 compared to $300 doesnt mean they're doing a crappy install. but ya just DIY, theres plenty of people here that could help you.

Yah, patience!!! Man staring at my tie rod with jeff was pretty tiring, lol. Best bet to save $$$ is to do it yourself. Again, its not hard, just time consuming
