KYB AGXs with Eibach Sportlines, installation cost and settings? About to buy KYB AGXs and Eibach Sportlines to replace the stock shocks and springs. How much should I expect to charge a shop in labor to install them? Is there a certain setting I should have them put the shocks on for mostly daily driving? Also, I did the heater hose mod on my stock springs a while back but still have the rubber insulators I took off. Should I put these back on with the new Sportlines? Thanks.

First, make sure you really want a 2" drop if you do, keep reading!
Yes put the isolators back on, if you haven't already bought Sportline springs at least make sure you buy the LS1 Sportline springs, not the LT1 Sportline springs there's a big difference in the spring rates!
Here's the spring rates and Pt#'s
LS1 Sportline: pt# 4.7038, 314-589 lb.in. FRONT, and 51-206 lb.in. REAR.
LT1 Sportline: pt# 4.3138, 360 lb.in. FRONT, and 80-137 lb.in. REAR.
The following lowering springs will offer better ride and handling if a 2" drop is too much for you.
Sam Strano(1.2"), Hotchkis(1"), H & R (1.25"), Vogtland(1.2")

I would personally say, check into BMR, I just put those springs, with the AGX's, have the fronts on 5, rears on 4.. And it is a night and day difference over the stock.. 
good luck!
