Anywhere between $80-250. Anything above is ripped off. Do it yourself If you have some knowledge and a buddy that can help you a little.

i agree... its amazing how people on here will tell you that spending 500+ on coilovers will "get you what you paid for...

i rode almost 5 years on $100 coilovers without a problem.

just dont lower them bad boys below 2 inches without having a camber kit in mind. tires will dissapear

wait so your saying you can get away with 100 bucks total (plus install) for coilovers to drop it a few inches? everything ive heard says 500 for springs/shocks and if you can spend a grand on coilovers. or are you meaning for a part

He's talking about coilover sleeves.. not a true coilover system.

Which are cheap and dont offer the quality and ride of a true coilover. Nor will the shocks last long.

that depends on the brand and the amount of drop you put... no shocks will go out any faster than they would stock with a 1-2 inch drop... if they do, they were going bad already.

i've said it tons before.. i've drove 5 years on coilovers between 2-2.5 drop on stock shocks... never a hiccup.

i dont consider myself lucky either
