Default for $400 you can take your current suspension off and put it back on:) i.e. it will cover only labor

Unless you are planning on putting it on your self. Seriously if you consider upgrading your suspension save around $600 for springs+matching shock and around $400 for labor to install those. If your cars is still under warranty, dealer will do your alignment for free (unless your dealer is a jerk).

Otherwise, for $400 you won't get anything decent.
