First of all... Welcome to NAM

the Canadian forum is a little dead rite now

anyways... I don't konw about the tinting... and you have to tell us if you are driving a Cooper or a Cooper S:smile: , and what kinda springs or coilover are you planning to get...

depend on how many window u r doing, the back 3? or all 5?

lowering will depend on spring, i think someplace u can get the spring and labor for about $400 to $500

getting cooperS next week, just want alittle advice before hand

darn, the installation just the biggest rip off ever, it's just too hard to accept for the labour be more than the springs itself. i think i will keep that thought at the back of my head.

i'm thinking of tiniting all 5, i want at least 35% back, and alittle lighter but not too visible from others at the front 2. any recommandation?

Down here in the south, my 20% tint (5 windows) cost me $160 bucks... I recommended the place to a few of my friends, and they all paid less than $180 (a civic 2-door, an impreza wrx wagon, and another mcs)... just to give you an idea of prices... in my opinion anything more than $200 is getting too close to rip-off territory (at least down here).

I really like the 20%... makes the 3 back windows look great because you can't tell where the line is between the actual window and where its just glass covering the interior bits (b-pillars, c-pillars, hatch frame). Plus, its not so dark that makes night driving difficult. Hope some of this helps...
