Does anyone know an aproximate cost of getting my car lowered?

And when i do, can anyone recomend some good quality, but inexpensive shocks to do the job?

It cost me about $500 to have mine lowered, I could've done it for $400 if I did the labour myself. I wouldn't have needed new shocks if one of them wasn't blown, that cost me $500 for a pair of Koni yellow (good shocks) although I could've put pedders (inexpensive shocks) on for $250 a pair.
Best to get them done at the same time to save on labour costs

KYB are a good inexpensive choice if you dont want to go nuts with adjustable dampners.

Get someone u know that can get cost price parts! like someone that works in spare parts (anywhere) I paid 213 for 4 springs and 60 for the cambur bolts! The rest i did myself! The 4wa was a prick! I had to take of the engine undercovers off just to get the lazers to comunicate! Was a full 3 hour job all up! So look at the labour times they charge u!
