Well, i'll give you a quick run-down on rough prices for most things

Springs, should be same price for all heights (i paid 170 for 4).
Shocks, rears are 100, fronts are around 180 (i think, i didnt buy them).
Panhard rod is between 140 and 200 (depends on brand).

So that's all you really need, so about 600 - 700, that's doing it all yourself though, if you were to pay someone for it, expect to get ripped off. I got quoted 580 for just the 4 springs and fitting, and i did it for much less than that ... they had the nerve to laugh at me when i asked if that price included shocks, that's when i told them where to stick it.
