Looks better; add spacers to reduce the tucked look or get lower offset rims.

you can get the springs from anywhere between 200 - 250. installation at a shop generally runs you 150 - 200.

Looks 10x better.....nice. Did you by chance measure the gaps before & after? I'm about to do this very same thing & can't wait. How's it feel driving & cornering....huge difference? Lastly, are you going to a sway package next or stopping at springs?

250 for part + 150-200 for labor. Some shops in NorCal do it for 399 + tax.

i didn't get a chance to measure before and after completely slipped my mind. huge difference on cornering. i'll probably stop at springs for now.

where did you get the labor done for $80? oh, the boat feeling are those 17s on RSAs. Mine felt that way too but car handles and takes corners 100x better now with the 18s and Bridgestone RE050A. A little noisier, but that's expected.
