I paid 130 for my sportlines, tokicos, front camber kit. I got it aligned elsewhere...
of course I will say do it yourself though

well I got mine done for 130 (springs/struts/front camber kit) at a local muffler/performance shop. If you can deal with them not caring for your car as much as you do (ie: forgetting to put the dust covers on your struts, not torqueing any of the bolts to spec, etc.) then find the closest performance shop to try it.
You should probably pay a little more for a reputable shop to do it. As far as your sport lines, yes you are going to need a camber kit for them. I have sportlines and I ended up with the progress kit up front and ingalls for the rear. That is, unless you want to be paying for tires out of your a$$.
and of course I'm going to suggest buying a spring compressor (40 bux at sears), a torque wrench (24.99 at sears), a helms, and just doing it yourself

what happenes if i don't buy a camber kit w/ my sportlines?? when will i have to get new tires? how much will a kit run me and will i need ti for both front and back or what or will i have to see that based on the camber when i put em on.. the springs are used so can i get alinment rightaway?

If you dont buy a camber kit the inside edge of the tires will wear down faster then the rest. You could extend the life by rotating them often, but without a camber correction you will be going through tires faster. I have been riding on a 1.5" drop on GC's for about 2 years without a camber kit, and I have never had a tire go bald or anything, but the inside edge on my last set of tires I took off seemed a tad more worn down than the rest of the tire. I have been using Dunlop 9000's since christmas and they seem to be having no uneven wear yet, but I do get them rotated every once in awhile to ensure even wear.
The most important kit is the front one, those will wear down faster since they are the drive wheels and usually they have a bit more negative camber when lowering. So go ahead and get the front kit, and save for the rear kit down the road a bit.
I paid $250 for Konis and Tanabe springs but that was at a really good shop that I trust. Then again I paid $100 to have Tokicos put on my Sentra (yes, they left off the dust covers.)
well i got mine done as a package deal with my body kit install and my cf hood install!! but i paid 800 for my body kit install (blitz front, agressor rear and it all to be painted and my shocks and eibach sportline springs to be put on
