How much is a quality lowering job. In parts and labor?

It's on my list of things to do. But not sure what it's going to cost me.

well i got used kw variant 2 coiloviers and labor was 125 for me and i still have to get an aligment which will probably be 60 bucks so in all it cost me almsot a 900 dollars for my setup so it matters if you want springs,sleved coilovier, or full coiloviers

grr you should have shopped around first...

4 hrs in total!! 1hr/wheel is like if your doing it yourself for the first time...

i think suja had all 4 done in like 1.5 hrs, and we spent a good amount of time trying to eyeball the alignment

one you but the stuff from them if you didnt know they get a big discount on there parts so he probably got the coiloviers for 200 and you pretty much in the end got the install for 200 think about it that way what kind of coiloviers did you get and did you slam it ir just a mild drop ,man mine car and your car are gonna look more and more alike 2 black honda civic yellow lamps with tints and lowered cops are gonna **** us over for thinking us as being the same person and also was that with camber kit included in the install i payed for camber kit and coiloviers to be installed
