Default Eibach Sportline Spring set

Well I decided that I want to lower my Mustang with the Eibach Sportline spring set. I proceeded to call around to the local auto shops and to Sears where I was quoted $315 for the kit and $600 total for the kit and labor. I knew these estimates were outrageous so I logged onto Tire Rack and found the same kit for $218. Now to my questions:
[ol][*]I plan on purchasing a set of 20" rims, will this cause problems with the lowering kit and should I just go with 18"s?[*]What should the average cost be to install the spring set?[*]Has anyone installed this kit or another lowering kit, if so what was the total price you paid for the kit and installation?[/ol]
Comments and pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[ol][*]I plan on purchasing a set of 20" rims, will this cause problems with the lowering kit and should I just go with 18"s?
[/ol]No it won't cause any problems. The only things you want to be careful around, are potholes and not scraping the bottom of your car.

[ol][*]What should the average cost be to install the spring set?
[/ol]Try ebay for a low price or tire rack. To install it, it shouldn't be more than $250. The total shouldn't be more than $500 for both the parts and the labor
[ol][*]Has anyone installed this kit or another lowering kit, if so what was the total price you paid for the kit and installation?[/ol]About $460

I had the pro kit installed a few months ago. Total price for springs and install with camber bolts was about $450. I wanted a lower drop, like the sportlines give you, but have the sportlines in my 03 and man is the ride harsh and it scrapes on everything. I'm on my 3rd chin spoiler. Shouldn't be any problems with bigger wheels as stated above.
