I'm curious...you obviously priced this stuff, but what exactly is it?
Are you going with a full adjustable coilover setup,
or just replacing the springs,
or replacing the springs with coilovers?
A quality set of Eibach, H&R or Intraxx springs should be about $200-$250 and would lower your ride up to 2.5"...I'd reccomend that instead of the coilover, if you don't want to mess up the feel of your ride.
In any of these cases, why is 'Lower' listed seperately? Is that just the labor for installing the lowering springs/coilovers or...what? If you have a jack and a socket wrench, you should be able to install them yourself, or (at least) with a car-oriented buddy holding your hand.
Also, unless you're doing the full adjustable coilover shock(about $1000-$1500), have you considered replacing the shocks as well? If you just lower it, without putting aftermarket shocks/dampers in, you may make your ride extremely harsh.
I really like the cosmetic mods, I think you're on the right track there...but don't fall into the trap of thinking that 'lowering' is strictly cosmetic.
