Depends on how much lower you want to go....

The coil-overs at all 4 corners are adjustable. With the correct wrenches, and a couple of hours, I lowered the front 3/4", and the rear 1/2". After doing that, I i took the car in for a wheel alignment, amd it was still in spec.

If you took it to a shop for that, figure a couple hours labor cost...around $400.

You should be able to go another inch on the stock coil-overs, but not sure that you car restore the proper geometry settings.

I think what I lowered the car to, is the most that can be practically used in most roads around here.
