I would say shops average $100 a corner to do shock/spring swaps. The sway bar install is not really related in terms of labor...

Hi Brian:
What's the best tire pressure for 75% street 25% autox? I think I have mine around max right now. I bought the package to I have the ecstas.
Best,
Edison

It's not the same for the street vs. the track (autoslalom or otherwise).

As suggested above...you will have one set of pressures for Autocross days and that set will be MUCH higher than you want to drive around on everyday. Start with about 36psi for Autocross and adjust up or down as needed to find what works best with whatever alignment/suspension setup you have. When the autocross event is done those tires will likely be around 40psi and you will drain them down for the drive home to around 30psi.

I have them at 50 psi. I'm guessing that's a bad thing from what I've been reading. I've kept them like this since a month ago and it's been almost 400 miles.
As expected, these are pretty bad during winter, and are around the same as the stocks in terms of being bad during the winter.
I can get 500 more rpm during clutch dump starts without wheelspin, though.
GTC01 17 X 7 45 ET?

At stock height, will a 215/45/17 rub?

+1 to WCS question. I'm looking at 17 x 7 with 215/45 on 45 offset. Will this be ok with Eibach pro kit springs?

Yes, 215 will be okay.
