It's really the only kit. The other ways to do it would include buying aftermarket leaf springs, or coilovers (expensive!)

I would guess a shop would charge ~$250 to do it.

Lowering the rear is easy. I think all that has to be done is replace two bolts. The front is difficult! You have to dismantle alot of shiznit to access the stuff. :smash:

You will be lucky to get a half inch off the front with those kits. Paying someone a couple of hundred to do it is something else. If money is no object i would look at an aftermarket front spring and longer bolts to drop the rear.
