Default lowering question

I wanna lower my 04 dale jr a so that it is closer to ground without changing the rims and tires basically the body lowered so less room in tire well and it sits closer to ground. How much should that cost me about? ANYONE HAVE PICS OF A LOWERED ONE AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE? What should i tell my speed shop exactly what i wanna do in "their language?"

Here's a few pics of my 06 lowered on Bilstein HD Series struts and Canuck Motorsports lowering springs. I've lowered both of my Montes (both my 03 SS and 06 SS) and each time went with new struts and strut mounts at the time I lowered them (stock parts were at 80k miles both times). Depending on the age of your current struts, I would recommend replacing those as well, as installing a lowering spring on an older worn strut is not a good idea. Obviously, if you install new struts I'd recommend going with new strut mounts as well. That said, cost can add up quickly if you are replacing struts and mounts. A set of lowering springs themselves usually run for less than $200; Canuck Motorsports for the Monte Carlo go for $150 for the set of four. Their springs for the 00-05 drop the front 1.7" and the rear 1.5", so basically the same as mine. Total cost for parts can vary significantly depending on what you're replacing and exactly what brand/parts you choose to go with. Any other questions, feel free to ask.
