Average Cost to Lower a Car

Hi Everyone,

I have a 2003 Civic LX, and I know someone who said they can lower my car, Springs and Shocks for $300 (labor only). Is this a good price? What is the average cost a shop would charge? Any info would be greatly appreciated....

Labor only for $300?

Book time(what most shops go by) is about 3.0hrs labor front & 2.4hrs rear not including alignment.

Spend $70.00 on a factory repair manual & do it yourself. It's not really hard if you have the tools. www.helminc.com --- repair manuals.

What suspension are you going with?

Hi jackasssi,

Thanx for the info, I don't know much about cars, and since it's kinda new I don't want to do it myself.

For suspension, I have my eye on the Eibach Prokit Springs, and am still waiting on Tokico to finish developing the shocks for my car/model (should be out in early 2004). Do you have any ideas about other shocks? I was also thinking about Koni...

I'd go for the Koni yellows if you have the extra $$$$. Check into H&R's Cup Kit - matched spring/ shocks
