lowering 1" is 260.00 to much

To everyone out there w/ 5th generations, I went today to find out how much it would be to lower the ride 1", they said with Progressive springs(becuase of the life time warranty), and install would be around $260.00, is this to much... Thanks Bernie

I had H&Rs installed in my 4th gen for 100 bucks the first time and then went to another place to cut a coil off for 60 bucks. Another word, 260 is too much. I'm currently running Eibachs in my 5th gen, and I installed them myself. All you need is to go to an autoparts store and get a spring compressor for around 40 bucks.

Maxspeed i think is lower than the H&R's by like half an inch or something. H&R's are like 1.4" in the front and 1.3" in the back...and you'll be paying like 200 for em. Big Dog..how much u get em installed for?? or did u do em yourself?

Come on now? A cheap bastard like me getting someone else to install them? Come on now.........

Hahaha, took me 3hrs with a friend to do the install. The drop in the front was BEAUTIFUL. The back the drop was very minimal, but I like it like that, that back never needed to be dropped too much anyways. And yes the ride is SOLID, but not like Eibachs where it is so hard you feel every bump, this is very much like stock.
