How long should it take and how much to pay mechanic to lower car?
I am going to be installing my H&R springs and bilstein shocks with 1/2 spring pad setup. How long should it take and how much should I expect to pay?

I believe that when you have the 3 letters on the rear trunk
the price just doubled or tripled. Just another way of telling you to drop
your pants and bend over.
There are very few mechanics out there with a conscience.
Just my $0.02.
