no way i can drop 500$ on a drop. Thats basically all of my wallet.... :furious:
If you go with prokits, you can get away with no camber kit. You can get away with the stock shocks for awhile as well, depending on the condition of your current ones and how you drive, what the roads are like, etc. That's what i did and it was a bit over $275 with alignment. That assumes you do the install yourself. Which isn't hard, but i don't know if i'd recommend it if you have never done it. Mostly because it can be dangerious while work and if you do mess something up. It's pretty simple though if you work on cars alot.


And one, looks pretty good man. A bit high but they should settle perfectly.

You lowered??? Damn! hahaha! The drop looks good in person for i am a witness to that.. i had neuspeed sports on my car before with 17's and the gap was decent after the springs settled, with him having 18's looks even better.

I'll be waiting for some daytime pics! :thumbsup:

He actually got an alignment already.. $180 for everything $130 for labor and $50 for alignment at the same shop which i might say is a pretty good price, most of the shops around our area charges a grip just for labor.. (ex. 75/hr or 50 for each springs w/out alignment) whew! :D

^^hate to say this, but his alignment is gonna be off again after the springs settle... one should always wait a couple weeks after the springs are installed before getting the alignment

You can adjust it so far without a camber kit, but depending on the drop (and basically the car), you may need a camber kit if its too far out ;)

yeah i know...my alignment is already off... :mad: damnit...sucks...maybe i can convince them to fix it for a minor fee...but when do you think the car will settle completely??? how many miles you think??? because a couple weeks could be different with driving distances for ppl
