just do it yourself..it's easy...if your average shop can't install springs/shocks...they should not be in buisness.

yep i agree.. all you have to do is jack up the car.. take off your wheels.. loosen up a couple bolts here and there..

just take off your wheels, pop your hood.. and you'll know what bolts to take out to get your springs/shocks out of there.

get a friend whos done this before.. takes a while the first time.. but it'll save you 70-100 bucks

if uve got general mechanical know-how..u cant do it urself..a shop can have u in and out in less than an hr..but if u want to learn something u can share again with others..spend a day with a bud and do it urself...now ive got more money than time so i have it done with a shop ive done buss. over time and trust them..remember that most speed shops will *deel* with u on pricing if they know ur going to be a return customer and not someone traveling around constantly looking for deals
