RE: Eibach Pro Springs
Should be around $70-$100 depending on how busy the shop is and how bad they need your business. Over $100 and they don't want the job. Are you planning on getting Tokico D-Spec struts and dampers and a panhard bar?

I think I paid about $150 and they did it wrong. Make sure that the they install the rubber spacers from the stock springs and that the urethane sleeve on the new springs is pushed down to the bottom of the spring where it comes into contact with the strut. They didn't do this on mine so I had metal to metal contact at the bottom of the strut so it sounded like the front end had bad bushings everytime you went over a bump. Other things to consider: Eibach part # 5.81260K ($26) is for correcting the alignment after you install the springs or you can use camber caster plates ($180). The camber on the front end will be out so your tires will wear on the inside. You need to get an adjustable panard rod because the body, after lowering, won't be centered over the axle so if you are running tires bigger than 285's, they will start rubbing on the fenderwell.

With plumb line measure spacing from rim to wheelwell edge on each side before install. If you are off more than an 1/8 after install do panhard bar to realign rear (side to side) BMR adj. is what I used; easy install, super quality part.

Hmm... I have the pro-kit with 255/35/20 tires and rims... I didnt get all that other correctional stuff... Ride feels fine though... Is it something that you feel as you drive or do you know that alignment is messed up?

Probably wouldn't feel as you drive. A plumb bob is the best on the end of a string ($5 at the hardware store) hold string on outer surface at center of wheelwell. Measure in to flat surface of rim from string. Note measurement and do the same on the other side. Some folks claim their car is right on after the drop; this is possible as it may have been out some before the drop. Mine moved 1/2" to the pass side; way to much for me; BMR instructions say adjust so no more than 1/8 out. maybe you are within an 1/8 or so and don't need to do anything on rear align.

I couldn't feel anything (yet) but is was more noticeable (visibly) when I put slicks on the back. I'm taking it to the track for the first time on Wed to see how she does. I would also bet money that without the new adj panard rod, there would be directional control issues on launch.
