Default Did I get Ripped off?????

I bought my H&R sport springs from a guy today and he wanted 50 bucks. I went to the bank and in the mist of being late i only had 3 2o dollar bills so I had to give him 60 bucks. Neither of us had the change. They were on his civic si for 4 months and the springs were in pretty nice condition. Let me know what you guys think. ty

4 months or 4 years, it's still used. $60 is still fair. Next time, get change.

If you bought a candybar that say's .99$ on the wraper for 10$ would u consider that a rip off? answer that, and u will find your answer.

1st you gotta see if the damn bolts will break loose holding the struts in place. If that's easy then next you'll just be taking out the struts/spring setup from stock. Compress springs with spring compressors so they won't pop out and poke an eye out as you take off the caps. After that, you just do the reverse, for installation on all four corners. Simple. Just look around in the wheel wells. You'll figure out which bolts need to come out and which don't. This is an amateur project... unless you screw something up like break a bolt inside the hole or something. Just be careful with the rear bolts. They can be a pain. Spring compressors can be bought for $40-50 or can be rented at auto parts stores. ohh and dude you gotta a good deal on your springs. Bought my H&R OEs for $115 shipped.

And I thought that Every Street Corner on Earth had Three 7-11 's on Them.

See the point is you can get Change there.

Not a bad deal
