i would just do it yourself and save the money. trust me, its not hard at all. they would proabably rip you off at a shop. only problem i had installing my springs was the 2 nuts on the rear were tight as hell and it broke a socket. impact wrench helps

there is a howto on the site by mynzeyes. its pretty straightforward as long as you have the right tools. but if you have any questions not covered in the howto or need anything clarified, just pm me. i didnt use a spring compressor by the way. when your taking off the stock springs, just be careful because the nut will shoot a bit. i used a rope and wound it around two coils and twisted it with a stick so it wasnt that bad (homemade spriing compressor ). putting the new springs on is a bit tougher without a compressor. i used my brothers help. he put his weight on the spring as i threaded the nut to begin tightening. other than that, its just bolts off, bolts on.
