I dont know the cost of getting a car lowered as ive had the work done by a friend in the past but a set of springs should cost about $250 maybe 150 to have them fitted by someone.

Was something that i though was worth doing my peanut was dropped about 32mm at the rear and 37 at the front (or vice verca was long time ago) and it looked mint with stock rims!

i'm thinking of lowering my99. change from 17 inch speedy 7's to 18 inch rims, i think 17 inch look to small and lower car with adjustable coilovers. i think starting price for coilovers $1000 probably $1300 plus install.
