I paid 250 and I would advise ya to take it someplace to get it done. OR read about all the folks on this forum that did it themselves and all the probelms they had afterward

What problems? I installed them 2-3 months ago with shocks and struts and no problems.

I recently had a Bullitt suspension package installed by a local shop. 3 hours labor = $195.00.

JonJon, enough said. Sorry man, but the last thing I want to be doing is changing out springs/shocks/struts/whatever, in the dark while it's raining. Your sense of adventure and personal accomplishment exceeds mine.

It drizzled a little and I had to do the work after work... So I get out at 6, get home at 6:30, it gets dark soon after. Plus I had to wait for my other friend... I really wanted to get it done since my friend only had that night free, OR a night 3 days later. With my car in pieces I coudlnt' afford to have no car for 3 days.
