Suspension purchase?

Well Ive been saving up money and I was wondering about how much would it cost to fully lower my car. I was thinking of buying megan's ez 15s.
so from the guys with experience, how much would it cost for the megans, and the labor and w/e else I need to lower my car?

Your looking more than just buying coilovers you still need to also buy a camber kit to be able to align your car.

Coilovers from 699-1000
Arm kit from 200-400ish

Instalation its simple

I was talking to my cousin and he told me that all I need for now is just the coil over and the alignment, and te camber kit can come later after I get new wheels

Everyone will have different opinions n but at the end of the day your going to need to get the camber kit. Just do it all at one time and do it right.

Regardless, these cars are very sensitive to alignment changes, especially when you changing ride height, so I'd consider finding a connection for cheap alignments or getting one of those lifetime or one year unlimited alignment deals. It'll pay for itself after the second time you're in there. Coming from years of modding and tinkering with suspension set ups, I've learned (the hard way at times) how important alignment is and that you need to do it right, whether you need to get a camber kit or not.

You don't need a camber kit you just got to make sure your toe is in check (if its not might need a new toe) to prevent most uneven tire wear but you won't know until you get an alignment. I got Life time alignments at tires plus for 160 (now they're about 200) but they do pay for themselves and you can transfer the plan onto another vehicle so its like buying life time twice. I got the plan back in october i think i've gotten 5 alignments since so I got my moneys worth in a matter of a few weeks.
