600 included the alignment as well. With my honda's I would just lower it myself with a couple buddies but I didn't really want to mess with the GS especially because of the adaptive variable suspension.

Holy crap that is a lot for spring install! I guess you already got it done so there is no point in beating a dead horse, but our cars are pretty easy and straight forward. To op I got mine done with alignment for $260, so don't just take one shops word for it that it is a 6 hour job because it definitely is not.

paid a visit to oneighty customs in BK. there was a set of swift springs in the box sitting in the middle of the floor. so you know i asked if they could install them on my car. was told that installing the RWD springs on an AWD car will drop the front more which means the drop will be uneven, not to mention the possible drivetrain vibrations. so that's a no-no for me, i won't take the chance.

i'm thinking maybe that would cause problems later on if it's an AWD sitting on RWD springs. AWD springs would drop the car lower in the front which in turn would make the drop even with the back anyway.
