Questions about lowering a Mitsubishi Lancer

Hi everyone,

Just helping a friend with his 2012(I think) mitsubishi lancer,

he recently purchased it from a family member. Although not completely stock, he wants to make e a few more modifications. His current priority is to lower it about 3-4 inches, maybe even only 2. How much would this cost him? He was quoted $500-600 from someone he knew but he thinks he can get it for less.

What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance

The cost will depend on the method of lowering the vehicle. There's lowering springs that usually give a 2" drop, coilovers, or airbags. If he wants a large drop, coilovers are usually the best bet.

Springs are usually around $200-$300, coilovers range from $800-$1500, airbags even more expensive than that.

Was the quoted $500-$600 just labor? Or did it also include suspension components
