you dont even need a spring compressor. it pops off and has enough pressure to fly maybe two feet. just face it away from you when you do it (obviously)

I called the Discount Tire store in El Monte, CA today. They quoted me $257 for Tein S-Techs or $280-something for Eibach Pro-Kit springs, installed. That's pretty good in my book. So if you live in So Cal, give them a call.

They are dumb...call them back and say...labor is around 70$/hr and if they said 1.5hrs for the front and 1.5hrs for the back you should be paying no more than 200$ for the install.

Go to Technic Auto Repair in San Bruno. Ask for Wayne, 650-589-3888. For labor he charged me less $150 to replace springs and shocks on my MR2. You just need to find a tire shop to do your alignment. Alignment will range from $50 to about 120.

Dude, for $400 they should include a 3-some with 2 bi-lesbo chicks and a VIP pass to your local Strip Club with everything paid for you and 2 of your friends....
 I paid $100 for the installation and I got a car wash with it.  Im sure you got a friend somewhere that can take you to a cheaper place. |

call a performance auto shop that specilizies in one area, like a performance shop that works only on suspensions for japanese imports, theres crap loads of them around virginia and they charge almost half of what normal shops would. Example national chain charge something lame like $1000 to swap out all four rotors, performance shop charges only $160

Yes you SHOULD use a spring compressor why would you take that chance?
Secondly, as far as I know its like $50 a spring to change. -------------------- |
