Me and my friend might install the lowering springs that Im getting, but i dont know if I'll have time. I might have to have someone else install them for me, like a shop. If anyone has had them installed, how much did you pay for installation? Thanks. Also, if you know of a good "how-to", post it up for me, thanks again.

I paid a shop $125 to install my springs. They had it done in less than 2 hours.

Took a friend & I 4hrs ....1hr looking for the tools, 1hr talking and laughing and playing with the shop radio and 2 hrs of actual work.

You can do it with basic hand tools, jack stands and a jack.

Welcome Aboard! I say install them yourself if you can't just pay a shop to
install them for you!

I would try to do it yourself. I just installed some Eibach's with the help of a friend. This was our first time doing it, and we had it done in just a little over an hour. It definitely helped to have all the right tools.

I had never done a spring install and on a scale of 1 to 10 I would say its a 5. Its really pretty easy and should take a couple hours or so. Get a buddy and go at it.

Well, heres my perdicament. I know there is the easy way of using a jack to release the compression on the spring, but trying to convince my dad who was a mechanic for almost 15 years to do this is like shooting a bb gun at a frieght train. He is pretty insistant on using a spring compressor...oh well. Anyone have any advice?

What kind of springs are you thinking
of installing? The Eibach Sportline springs
make a great drop!

Stangnet was by far the most helpful when I did my springs!
