It depends whether you buy new shocks or not (it is recommended).
Springs are about $300
Installation and alignment should be another that much or more depending where you go.
And shocks are about $600.

On these forums the recommended package is Dobinson springs and Sachs shocks

If you want practicality still, then kings lows are about perfect, think they were about a 45 mm drop??
Go for super lows and the front will be scrapping out everywhere.

I found King springs and boge shocks/struts to be very good.

$600 sounds about right.

I was looking at $710 for a quote earlier this year with King SP's

Most places will give a price around that ball park. If your cash strapped, maybe look at used springs? I know they can be questionable, but a proper inspection should be fine.

Whatever price you choose, make sure the modifier will write you a receipt that says the modifications are legal, because if you ever happen to have a prang the other parties insurance companies will try to defect your vehicle so you have to pay - and if you ARE insured your own company might disown you if the car isn't legal.

I paid $220 for a set of brand new dobinsons 40mm drops and $200 for installation, however my rear shocks were gone so that was another $100 there.
