Hello everyone, anyone here that installed the eibach pro kit..

I don't have enough time or the correct tools, so around how much will it cost to let a shop install them for me?

and another quick question, I don't want to over drop my car, so would the eibach pro kit be a good choice? "since its around a 1.4, 1.0 dropping height" I would like to have drive without having to worry about scrapping.

At a quick note, this is going to be my first car that im dropping.

Thanks again everyone!, btw you guys @ this site are amazing at helping me mod my altima coupe

shop will probably charge 250. but times are tough and shops are not getting as much business as they would like, look on craigslist under automotive services, you will find ASA certified mechanics willing to come to you and work on your car for what iv seen as low as 35$ an hour. I paid 120 for mine going that route.

Welcome to NICO

The eibach kit lowers the car to a very drivable height. Honestly , I think that it puts it where it should have been from the factory. So you shouldn't worry about scraping as long as you don't have a very steep driveway etc.

As for cost of install, this question has been asked many times, so if you use the search button at the top, you should find a range of answers.

Here is a pic of my car with the eibach kit to give you an idea of ride height.Hope that helps

EDIT: Apparently my photobucket acct is full. I will fix

RE EDIT: No I wont, They shut down my acct for 5 days.

I've scraped 2-3, just be careful.

I actually like the drop on Eibach Pro Kit, this is my second Coupe and never looked into Coilovers.



I wouldn't pay more than $200 (CAN) for an install.

As for your next MOD: Front Tower Strut Bar

let me know if you find any place to do your springs for a good price because I'm looking for a shop too but everyone I call is charging $300+ and I'm not about to pay that much to get springs on.

On another note, your car looks nice bembol, how much of a difference does the strut tower brace make? I'm planning on getting that next but don't really know to much about it. did you install yourself?

Thanks! I installed the FTSB, first I'm running OEM tires but still noticed the handling/cornering improved greatly. After installing I wasted half a tank driving around testing it. LOL It's a must have MOD!
