Depends on the shop. Usually around 125 to 150 bucks.

hmm what kind of springs are you using? or coilovers. If springs I would go 1 and half inch in the rear and 1.35 in the front if possible.. And coilovers I would slam it in the back and leave a .25 left in the front. lol.. thanks how i'm dropped rite now on my tanabes!!

price sounds about right, that's the ballpark

how much to lower, that's so up to the person. you have to see it yourself to decide

free if you do it yourself, but if you get a place that knows what they are doing for a good price, shouldn't be more thank 175 i believe.

i'm thinking to lower my car too, i like f sport springs , the front about an 1" and rear about .6 to .7 its fine, dont want any lower, near future going to get new wheels, how many of those silence rubber do i need to have , to reduce noise come from the rear or none? its come with 2 in one bag, at least 4 to 5 rubbers for each spring ???
i can install springs myself at my friend shop , just have to bring it next door to do alignment
