Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Depending on how low it is dropped u may need adjustable rear tow bars.
Make sure that labor includes an alighnment and get a copy of the numbers when done.
I think dropping your car you should go coil over and as many adjustable pieces as possible
I had a JIC/cross system very low and great ride but I got a deal on a set of OhlinsR/T so much more robust
butthe drop is great handles amazing and firm ride but pliable
Extremely high. I did B8 and H&R on my driveway for less than 1200 invested. Now, if you don't do your own work, I still think this is high as can be. Best of luck on this.
OP - Check your parts list prices yourself. Some prices are high. B8s only run about $1,000 a car and B6s are a little less than that. I think book hours for front and rear are 8 hrs. Mount hardware is about right, if it’s OE. Save yourself and look at Feal 441+ ‘cuz you’ll be much happier, me thinks.
