Unless you plan to do it yourself, $750 will be hard to beat. Springs are around $260, shocks around $350, so $140 for fitting and alignment is pretty good.

Yep agree that is a good price. XR models use 4 struts (IRS) and you probably won't buy them under $400. If you can do it yourself do it and reuse the same struts if they don't have excessive klms, You will save yourself a packet. All depends how low you want to go though. If your going real low you will need different struts  _2:

The height adjustable coilovers are a good buy for the front. Mines King Pro-Sport (thanks for the contact JC) but I'm not sure if they still do them. Too low? Move em up! (As I had to after they settled down - too low!) Rears are a standard lower spring/shock combo.
