suspension install

I went to the local performance shop around here and they want $550 to install springs, s/s and c/c plates. That seemed pricey, what you think?

Thats just install? WOW I have done everything but the springs and it was really simple! And everything I have read about springs is that it is really simple too! Save the money and buy some gears and get them installed for that price! Do the work your self!

i did my springs, struts/ shocks, and swaybars myself. it's pretty easy. it can be a little time consuming, but when you think about the money you saved and the experience you gained by doing it yourself, it'll be worth it.

I would deff do it all yourself.. you dont need any specailty tools and the knowlege you will gain will be beificial.. and once you have it done yourself all you need is an alingment.

I would do yourself bud, it took me and a friend a little more than an hour to install my Eibach kit. If you have a Jack and some stands, its easy. Save your cash!!!

Wow, I must be a Dee Dee Dee....
I just did mine about two weeks ago, and I wouldn't say it was hard, but it was definately time consuming. Granted I like to take my time and make sure I'm not screwing s-it up. Took about 6.5hrs. That was on a lift with two people.

I would vote to do it yourself and save the $$ for other mods! But have a friend help (help = make sure you don't drop the car on yourself, and if you do-laugh-then call 911). Read the how-tos several times so it goes quicker. Also make sure you have all the tools you need. Get some new cotter pins, before you start!! I always forget to do that...till the tie-rod end is already off! If you have access to an air compresser and an impact wrench it will make the job go a little quicker.

One thing I also did, because I had it on a lift, was replace the fuel filter. After 86K it still had original. ACK!

That's my .02!
good luck!
