It get all technical and [censored] with the camber kits and stuff, but i was wondering how much it would cost for the kit and if i was to bring it to a garage to put in on how much they would prob charge me for labor? If anyone has any suggestions please let me know thanx

how much of a drop? I lowered mine for $115 but that's doing the work myself with friends. Only about 1" drop and springs and struts both used.

It really depends on what kind of drop you want, and how much quality you want in the hardware.
You can pick up some good struts and springs for about $300, and it will cost somewhere between $150 and $300 for labor from what most people have said here when it's been asked in the past.
If you start talking about big drops, you're getting into the need for camber kits and stuff, and you're talking another $100 onto that.
If you want to replace your strut boots and the various urethane and rubber pieces that are down there you're talking maybe another $150-$200 for all of them.

I've heard quotes of $300-$400 for install and alignment.
that's for installing new struts and springs.

I think i'm over $1500 with installation. Of course, that's Koni's, GC's, Bat camber kits, and an allignment.
I like to think I put the 'func' in functioning alcoholic.
