Can somebody give me a $ range for everything. Parts, labor, etc. (Something like the upgraded sport package) I'm not sure what is out there, so just a general range will do.

Default depends on what method you use, springs/shocks or coilovers, the first will run you about $500 - 700
the second anywhere from $900 - 1500 plus figure about $250 - 400 for installation.

Default What kind of car do you have?
I 've got a set of A4 FWD 1.8T sport suspension if that fits you. If you want something that is even lower/harsher, there is also cupkits for FWD cars (from H&amp;R, Apex ...etc)
