About how much does it cost to buy springs and install them to lower your car (all together)? I know some shops vary in price, but a ballpark figure?

Also, what are some brand names of Cat Backs that you can trust, and/or make a nice sound. Is GREDDY as good as it's rumored to be?

 

Springs can range from 150 to about 300 and probably 100 to 150 bucks to install them. Greddy is good quality exaust along with Dc Sports, Skunk2, Apexi. Hope thats helps.

 

Lets see, my sportlines were $125 and $80 to install (back in 97) and I have a DC cat-back and sounds really nice got it for $390 (killer price) and install was $65???

 

i like my greddy alot....its what everyone around here has so it can't be too terrible...its about $500

 

installed springs probably will cost about $250-400 depending on the brand. if you were thinking about aftermarket shocks...heres the time to save on labor.

i have a greddy sp....no complaints really.

 

So ebay is a good place to get these things? Or do you not want to trust sellers on ebay.. I have heard bad stories

 

Most ebay sellers are ok. I've never had a problem. Just check their feedback. Also, make sure what they are selling is legit and not a knock-off

 

I've been part of ebay siince Oct 99 with over 220 (+) FB, just look at FB and ask questions

 

for springs i think anywhere from 125-220, youll want to get shocks with the springs otherwise the stock shocks will blow out. install depends, i did mine (free), but a gas station w/a shop in the back told me theyd install them for 50 bucks with the shocks/springs.

for my catback i have a Apexi World Sport. great quality and sound. not loud, but its there, and just wails in VTEC.
