I am going to be installing this setup very soon. I made the suspension compendium and researched the %$@& out of it before making my selection. I have 2000 2.5rs springs and struts, and a turbo swaybar. you can reuse your top mounts. I expect a 1.5 inch drop. If you have a wagon, it will work, but it will suck, the rear will be too soft and you'll have ass sag. I can take pictures once i get them installed if you have time.

$150 or so. $200 at the most, i'd say. does this include the tophats and everything? if not, you'll need to pick some up from the dealer (for the fronts), they aren't too bad pricewise.
