Expectant shop cost for installing lowering springs
 
Just started researching on lowering my car and wanted to get the latest opinions. Wanting just springs and looking at BMR "1 or "1.2, eibach kit and the Pfadt. Also, what am I looking at cost wise for a shop to install these?
Is a all wheel alignment necessary for just a "1 inch drop? Thanks.

Yes you will need an alignment.i paid 300 for the installation and alignment

Think I have decided on the BMR springs. The 1 or the 1.25. Which height seems the most popular?

Get coil overs. You can set any height you want.

Yes, you will need an Alignment. The 1.25" are our most Popular Springs

Now looking at the level 1 package from BMR with the sway bars. Should I ante up and go that route?

If you're planning to do sway bars I highly suggest getting the 2012+ OEM rear lower control arms and drop-links and switching to the 2012+ outboard mount rear bar. The arms and links are relatively cheap even from a dealer and fairly easy to install. As for the bar you can get an OEM 1LE (or ZL1 - same bar) bar or go aftermarket such as BMR or JPSS, etc.

Thx for the info.

I paid zero and just did it myself two weeks ago with a jack and two jackstands. I would say if you are somewhat mechanical you should be able to take your time and complete it in a weekend. Great experience and with the savings I was also able to throw on some ZL1 sway-bars.
