You'll need:

Spring Installation: $150 ($200 book price)
Front camber arms: $250
Installation of camber arms: $90
Alignment: $70

Your cheap springs will cost you $800 in the end, and that's not even counting after market rear camber/toe arms. Without those you'll be able to get -2.0 rear camber at best, which is good for track performance but not for tire wear.
