Question $600 for Eibach Pro- Kit!!!!

I have a 2008 g5 and went to a auto shop today and they said it would be $600 for a drop with Eibach pro-kit which would only be 1" in front and 1.3" in the back. Also the rims im lookin at are 18" Konig Further's with 215/40/18 Toyo Proxes.

IS THAT DROP WORTH THE PRICE AND WILL IT LOOK GOOD????

all 08 models have TPS..or somethin its called its tire pressure monitoring so make sure your wheels are adaptable to that..ASA's on tirerack are adaptable to that as they will specify....600$is expensive for drop..explore some of our vendor sites such as gravana and TTR or zzp...i'm sure they are cheaper..prolly round 300 or so

the sportlines are cheaper actually. and don't pay 350 to have springs installed. if you can't do it, see if a local member can help you out. it's really not hard at all.

wow dude, my shop charged me $150 to do the drop, alignment, and rotate my tires. i would say just start making alot of phone calls. it seems most places give free estimates over the phone, so hit that phone book man lol
