I paid $360 for the shocks + springs. It took them 3 hours and the price included an alignment.

I was looking for the set-up in ebay and can't find it for 4.2 engine. Will this one fit http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Koni-...Q5fAccessories

Also I was quoted $640 for and 8hr install on this... is it true that It will take that long? How much are you guys paying?

WHAT? I can not find the Eibach springs alone for less then $240. Koni FSD Shocks are costing way over $650.

I hope you are missing a 0 or something.

What do people think about H&R vs. Eibach? How do they settle? A friend of mine put Eibachs on his 350z and they ending up being way to low (I went Tien's on mine and loved it).

+1 on this... my Fx was lowered using H&R springs and was happy about it. I heard a few fx that used eibach then it snapped after 10K mile or so.

I went H&R because they supposedly give a little more drop. I got everything done through pure motorsport in Temecula. Since you're in SD i highly recommend them. I kept the stock struts and the ride is great. I'm running 19" wheels in the pic below.
