Default RE: Lowering?

depends. A simple lowering kit is around $200 with four springs. If you don't want to have to mess with the alignment do not go with anything more than an inch or so. My 97 has a 2" slam and now I need to get C&C plates and stuff. (guy before me did it)


On our cars it's not that tough at all to change the springs, its' really easy once you get it jacked up by the frame

^ even if you go one inch after you get your car lowered you should ALWAYS get an alignment.

2.0inch+ drop you will need c/c plates

$220 for lowering springs
$200 for shocks/struts(cheap but they work)
$200 for c/c plates(if you go lower then 2inch)
$450 pending... if you take it to a shop to have them install it. Its about 1 hr per wheel. 4 wheels at $100/hr... then alignment afterwards
