Ill find out in the morning... bit late to rev the car! lol.. how much do wheel bearings cost to replace?? and what the hell are they? i know, I'm useless lol..

one more question, I'm getting lowering springs and shocks this week and am wondering is it possible for them to seize up at all...I've heard of it happening to coilovers but not sure about the springs and shocks.... any help please..
