Install cost $150 or 175 I can't remember.

Have yet to do an alignment, but I need one badly. Car drifts left a bit.


UPDATE: I measured the drop one last time using the same method as before. The final drop is:

DF: 1-1/8"
PF: 1-1/8"
DR: 7/8"
PR: 3/4"


Overall the ride is smooth and responsive at lower speeds, however in hind sight I probably would have gone with a spring/shock combo like Koni FSD. The stock shocks are just too soft and tend to make the car sway from side to side when hitting bumps at highway speeds. Not in an unsafe way, just kind of annoying. And after driving my GTI with KW Coilovers for 6 years I kind of miss that feeling of control.
