My dealer did my springs shocks and struts (which should be the same labour) and alignment for $300. They also told me that the alignment fell right into OE spec even after the drop (which they didn't think would be possible).

I lowered mine with a hacksaw and blowtorch, did the alignment with a ruler and rubber hammer. Rides better than stock and didn't cost no $800.

I love the look of your car. How is the ride quality with H&R race spring and Bilstein combination?. I have Eibach springs and Bilstein combination and I love the ride but I want the rear to drop a little more.

Also they said they cant really realign my wheels after a lowering? this sounds strange.... I was at EF1 motorsports and they said they install the springs let them set for a week then align them after they set.... didn't ask for there price with install at the time.... Anyways I'm really confused at this point lol
I paid $275 and that was with an alignment. You're getting bent the F over. As a matter of fact, print this post out and give it to the guy who quoted you so he can read this:
