At first I thought it was priced incorrectly but I tried to add it on checkout and the priced remained at $80.78 plus a handling fee of 3 bucks. So I assumed it might come out less than a 100 bucks with tax and ground shipping.

Just got springs and rear spring pads which came to a total of $140 excluding install. (~est $140 for the install as well). The drop I have all around is pretty subtle. Perfect for my tastes. Granted, I am running stock 17"s but it's pretty much a 1 finger gap all around. I take it since he's running coils, it should be about the same. But if not, he can always adjust it.

You got the FK's or a diff brand? I was going to buy these a couple wks ago, but they were no longer available. FK's have been used in with VDubs and Bimmers for a long time. Have always been lower in price, but I never heard of any quality issues.
Widely avail via UK sites for about the same price after conversion. Killer is the $200+ shipping. :/
