Default Want the car lowered.

Not a lot but I want some so it can still be a daily driver and ride smooth. Mainly like 1.5 inch drop. Any suggestions and whatwould the price tag look like?

thanks in advance.

Eibach Pro-Kits are designed to lower the front about 1.2" and the rear about 1" and run on your stock shocks. I got mine for $190 from tirerack.com. If you do the wrench work yourself you have to pay for the springs plus whatever you break. I had to buy new lower bolts for the shock @ $10/ea and new lower control arm bushings for about $23/ea. So if you can do the work yourself you'll save big, othrwise the standard labor rate at a shop is ~$80/hr.

No clue. It took me about 3 days to do it because I ran into so many problems with the bolts and bushings I had to replace. I want to say between 2 and 4 if they don't shear off any rusted on parts.

Edit: If you're going the shop route, call around and get an estimate from a bunch of places. Spring replacement is pretty standard and hard to screw up, unless something breaks.
