Cost to lower my SS?
Stopped in to a local garage here in town to get a price to install lowering springs and do an alignment. $500 give or take, does that sound about right?

Here in alberta the Eibach Pro springs were $250 (1" lower) installed myself and $139 at GM to align it. So its close.

Hey Steve
Figure on between $80 - $100/hr for labor, probably 3hrs to do the install plus the cost of an alignment. So $500 probably isn't too far off the mark.

Thanks guys, I thought $500 seemed a little high but I guess not.

DIY!!
It's not hard, and you don't need a spring compressor.

No even the stock springs are just a hair 1/4-3/8" longer than the strut and the new spings go on no probs. remember to time all the suspesion bushing to the new ride high.

The springs are easy to do. I did them in the parking lot at my apartment complex. The biggest thing you need is a 24mm & 22mm wrench and socket. I would recommend a 1/2 breaker bar or impact gun. The 24mm bolts on mine were ON THERE! But it easy. I think I got my Eibach for $210 shipped through ebay and GM charged me 59.95 for the alignment.

I got around the same quote to install my Pfadt springs. Ended up doing it myself (with some help from the forum) in my garage and paying $109 for the alignment. It really is a job you can do yourself.
