     Around $600 to $700 for the springs and shocks and about $300 to put 
     it in, including the 4 wheel alignment that is needed after,  Also 
     plan on $80 for an upper strut tie bar in the front.Some places have 
     great package deals for lower price, from New Dimemsions you can get 
     the springs S&S and sway bars and the tie bar installed, for about 
     $1000!  You will not believe the transformation of your car, you will 
     be quite pleased with the performance of the 15" stock wheels, a tire 
     upgrade is recommended though but not necessary to enjoy the new 
     suspension.  Wheels look nice but the handling benifit is not even 
     close to what you will get from the suspension upgrades.

Ok people.  I have been saving some $$ for a set of 16 inch wheels for this summ
er but 
now you are making me drool over a nice suspension upgrade.  If I were to go 
with the SPAX or Bilstein setup (shocks, struts, and springs for all fours) how 
much should I expect to fork out?
