Ok these are the numbers from the alignment a day after it was lowered. Is there anything I should be concerned about or have them try to correct when I take it back.

Camber and caster look good. I'd put toe at zero for aggressive street.

Fronts around 678 mm to fender and 718mm rears.
I think this might be a bit too low and may likely raise it by another 7-8mm.
Are you guys scraping at all? The plastic flaps in front of the front tires are worn out. Only 2.5” of clearance there! Other spots I’ve got around 4-4.5” of clearance at the front.
Was wanting to get a rough idea what the going rate is when it comes to lowering your cars ($1000 to $2000?). Is one application (HAS kit) at a lower installation price point than coilovers? I heard that a coilover install is easier than lowering springs or HAS kit install because you take out the OEM unit and just replace it with the coilover. Not sure how true that is.
Any info that you guys can provide would be appreciated.

labor between the two is similar in my experience. Usually shops have to swap the top hats from the stock shocks over to the coilovers, so they have to disassemble the shocks anyways, which essentially brings them to the same point as if they were swapping springs. If anything coilovers and adjustable springs like the HAS involve more labor since there’s ride height adjustment. With fixed lowering springs, no adjustment needed, just alignment.
