I secured a free set of junkyard springs for my 'Coupe and cut them myself, keeping the originals in case it was a fail. I align my vehicles in the driveway myself then get them "officially" checked at shops that offer free alignment checks; they've always been spot-on. So the cost of this mod for me has been nearly zero dollars; some gas for parts running plus my time and effort.

I am pleased with the look, ride (somewhat stiffer) and handling (corners better) of the lowered car. My mpg records and the ever-changing nature of my trips make it difficult if not impossible to make any fe claims for this mod. However it is indisputable that frontal area has been reduced a skosh.
