Cost to install lowering springs and alignment

[SD_Engnr]

Anyone know of a good reputable shop in the San Diego area?

HG Performance in San Marcos. They've done a whole lot of work for me.

I ended up going with drive auto in mountainside, nj. Was a tad under $500 installed.

What springs did you get? Was the $500 for both springs and installation?

Got tsportline springs for awd lr. 1” drop. And no, the springs were a separate cost. About 800 all together.

How is the ride compared to stock? Any pics? Were you happy with the install?

There is a lot of incentive to stay on the wall

Are toe and camber arms needed when lowering the suspension. I'm hearing you'll eat through tires without them.

Tough here too, but I found NTB Tire and Battery in Nashua NH. Call 603-281-5203 and ask for Sterling. Stand up guy. They fixed a minor problem after it was discovered without questions (it was their mistake). Total coilover cost was about $450. Car is transformed by the MPP Sports Coilover kit. Had alignment package ( 2 years) on the car, so no charge to realign. Specs came out great, but it helped that I had the rear camber arms from MPP - and they were installed at the same time as the coliovers, so the $450 price was really excellent for both.

No not really. Set at the recommended Street settings of 12/10 for compression / rebound it feels only slightly firmer than stock but with much better control over roll and pitch. I'm running it 10/8 which is pretty firm for the street.
