normally most import shops charge an average of $60 for install of springs. camber kits not sure

 

$60 wow, this tire shop here charges $300 LOL

 

I charged myself a 6-pack of beer and a pat on the back.
The feeling of accomplishment will overwhelm your body into a state of ecstacy.
There's a writeup. Use the search function and good luck.

 

It didnt cost me anything, i rented spring compressors from pepboys and installed the spring myself, then returned the compressors and got my money back...just an option, not sure how much it woulda been to have them installed tho.

 

I'd do it for a bag of fries.

That is exactly how much it costs, nothing. It cost me $75, but that was because I needed a new torque wrench. However, lowering springs and stock shocks isn't always the best idea...

 

yeah, tools always seem to be the most expensive

 

I'm planning on renting the compressors and doing it myself also within the next month I'll be getting some H&R springs.

 

will I be ok with stock shocks?

Depends how low your going, the type of springs you use and how good of condition your stock shocks are.

Lowering springs will compress your dampers/shocks more during normal driving. This causes the dampers to be under more continuous stress than they're designed for and once you hit a bump, the dampers have to work even harder than they normally would when the car was higher. You should be okay with stock shocks in the SHORT run, but stiffer springs and a lower ride height generally needs a more "beefy" set of shocks to last longer.

Installing it with a friend would be the best way to go. If you screw up, you can blame him, but once it's all done, it feels great!

 

i usually do it for free.

for the cost of paying someone else doing it, you can buy your own tools.

you gotta ask yourself, is your time worth $60/hour?
