The front shocks a/o springs are a bitch.
Assuming you'd have it done expect to pay at
least 600 for the install fr/bk plus alignment.

I lowered my car (new shocks and springs) in about 4 hours with the help of a friend and only hand tools. If you own a spring compressor and know how to use it, there is no good reason to pay a shop. And, believe it or not, after lowering mine 1.5 inches, it was still within alignment specs (but I had it changed to my specs), you should still have your alignment checked.
