How much did you pay to lower your car??

I am getting my Eibach's installed on my car, probably this coming Monday. I am trying to get an idea on how much it is going to cost. I did get an estimate from one shop that was like $775., which included alignment. But just wanted to know what everyone else has been paying? Thanks.

775 that's a scam run away from that asap.....just for drop it shouldn't be more than 250 if. alignment should be around 90-120 depending on the place.

Hahahahahahah I'm sorry that's just comical.
I paid 75 dollars to have mine Aligned at the Infiniti dealer, they had a special online (tried to ring me up at the normal rate until I made them check their own website in front of me...)

Install cost me a pizza, for me and my buddy.

$139 for 3 year alignment? That's good. I inquired about lifetime or multi- alignment deal at my local shops and they said no way coz I'm dropped.

Back to topic. Usually $150-200 for the eibach install then wait 2 weeks to make sure the springs have settled. Alignment range from $55 to $100.

Yeah, I thought $775 was an insane amount, when the guy told me that my jaw dropped. Plus the guy said it would take like 6 hours to install, which I thought that was a ridiculous amount of time to install.

A reasonable price is about $300 or less. Alignment should be no more than $150. You may find a reputable place to do it cheaper than those, but that's about the max you should expect to pay for each.

I paid about $200 for the drop, $100 for the spacers (H&R DRS, so more complicated), and about $100 for the alignment.
