how much does it normally cost to get your car lowered assuming you already have the springs and is there anything else i need to get when i get the springs?

i got mine done for $200. all you need is the springs, unless you want to upgrade other parts of your suspension.

It'll only cost you about 250 or under for lowering springs, and that is all you would NEED. But if you get a severe drop, your gonna want shocks, struts, and caster camber plates.

If you want it done right, get new shocks and struts to go along with it. If you go lower than 1.5", then you'll need cc plates.

Can you do it yourself? Save a lot of money and builds pride into your car.

yea, depends on how much the springs you have drop the car. if its more than 1.5" you should get new shocks/struts, camber kit, maybe even a bumpsteer kit. if its 1.5 or less, you should be fine just installing them and getting an alignment.

it depends where you get them done and also consider since the center of gravity is being lowered and body roll is being reduced, you might have trouble hooking up through 1&2
