Opionions Needed

[KYREDP5]

Hello all,
I will be getting a sizeable tax refund, and a inventory bonus check pretty soon and was goin to spen most of it on suspension work.
I will definately get new springs (I know new struts are reccomended with this), and possibly new struts depending if I need to or not. Also if I end up getting new sway bars I will have to get new struts anyway won't I? Next, should I go with a full Mazdaspeed setup or would I be better off going with diffrent brands.

For full Mazdaspeed setup I'm looking at:
Lowered Spring Kit 2001-3 Protege $200
Retuned Strut Kit 2001-3 Protege 460
Stabilizer Bar Kit 2001-3 Protege 360
Total 1020

Plus labor (don't have a place safe to work on a car).

Anyone know what prices I'd be looking at for other brand setups, and about what labor would cost?

Thanks in advance.

here is the part numbers BTW.....for the Mazda stuff....

0000-8M-C13 spring kit
0000-8M-C14 strut kit
0000-8M-C15 sway bar kit


don't forget the price of an ALIGNMENT when you are done as well.....

if you were to call any mazda dealer they can tell you the cost of the install...as for each thing there is a set amount of labor hours that are charged. and of course....Plus the alignment.

Yeah and alignment. I've gotta pick my car up from Mazda tomorrow (i hope, I hate this Focus), I was going to ask them then. Just wondering if anyone had a ballpark figure.
