How much can I expect to spend for a drop?

Looking into the Eibach pro kit. I see it costs about $225 on the net just for the kit.

WHat is a reasonable price to expect to spend for the installation?


Or anyone that bought and had there springs installed at a shop, how much did you pay and location please.

Thanks dudes.

anything less than $200 is a good price IMO.

that's what I was thinking when I did mine

it does handle and look better - but I'm not sure I'd do it again or do it on any future cars without having the springs or shocks worn first

$55 bucks for tein SS install courtesy of Cocoa's buddy. They bought me lunch though thanks Chris.

I also learned how to do it... so it really isn't that hard to do if you got some of the right tools.

I think it was $735 for TEIN SS with ingalls camber kit so less than $800 to get it all in... and that was for over a 3" drop... well worth it IMO looks way better.

Haha, you got those pics in of us. Of course you had to put the one of me in the trunk, lol. Damn, your car looks sick with that drop. Gotta love all that wet tire shine we put on the tires.

I actually like the WW spoiler on that CL. It looks clean with that kit. Who's is it?

Oh I dunno I got the pix from some guy... whoever has the black CL on bags Suxor? did he change his name or something? Had some pics of those cars.... the type R spoiler doesn't look to bad on the cl... that liscense plate thing is wack though. Yeah that wet tire shine stuff looks good lasted 2-3 days that aint bad at all.

what is that stuff anyway I might get some and just put it on all the time... ur right tires should look black.
