Where do you go to lower your car and How much?

Hey guys, I'm planning to drop my vic with goldline springs before summer. I chose goldlines becuase it's cheaper and I wanted 1.75 drop. I'll probably buy this springs off ebay for US$145 shipping included. my question is, where do you go to get this done? Do you guys know any shops with good price? For those who already lowered, how much you paid and where? Any info will be appreciated. Thanks

Don't get it off ebay, when you can get a better price at tornactive.com at a ill cheaper price. You can also try Hondawerx.com too. You can get it done at G5, it cost a 100 bux.

Thanks guys,
I was wondering, I found one place near Metrotown area called Teamwork, and they recommended Tanabe springs. Springs, installation, taxes everything for $400 cdn. Is this good price? I know Tanabe springs give uneven drop (1.60(F), 1.80(R)) plus I have sub box in my trunk so it'd look probably ugly, right? What do you think?

What are the pros and cons of lowering your suspension?

I'd assume handelling is better but what about ride quality, speed bumps ect?

bumpier, more noise, good chance of bottoming out,
looks better, more aggressive, better handling
