roughly around:

Springs (200-300) + install (100-300)

Coilovers(1,100-2,500)+ install (100-300)

Bags ? 3,000 plus im guessing

unless you do the install urself, then just the cost of the product. Thats a ball park. Depending on the which brand of springs or coilovers and where you get them installed.

I bought my sportline springs new from a CL member for 200 shipped, did the install myself.
My total cost $200+Spring Compressor tool rental(kragen) $7(per day)+ couple hours= $207 plus a good experience.

If you are willing to drive to L.A area for your springs installation, I would highly recommend Tommy at Music Box. He's located in South El Monte, and he does high quality work not to mention good pricing also. Quite a few members from So Cal, including me, have been to his place and all of them are very satisfied with his work. Here's his info:

948 Durfee Ave. #C
South El Monte, CA 91733
626-823-2853

if u go there plz do ur homework before then. vic is like a shark, once he senses ur inexperience priceing to these type of jobs he will RIP u off! GARUANTEED.


i know this cuz i sent my mom there and he got her to pay about 20bucks more for the same tires that he quoted me prior.

and to top it off, ive heard many scandelous stories but decided to give Vic/Discount Tires the benefit of the doubt, boy was i wrong.
