Try to find some performance shop. You can install them around $100. If you take it to the mechanic shop, they'll charge some $$. Good luck!!

I tried some local joints and none would install the springs since I didn't buy them from them! I'm in the same boat as Escamar. I keep getting quotes for about $200.TLover8888 said:have you tried regular tire places and car dealers?
200 with alignment seems ok. but they will do the alignment right after installing the springs? that's too soon right? coz' the springs will take some time (at least 2 weeks) to settle.Escamar said:ok i finally got my springs and now i need to find a place...
some of the prices i got are
$200
$260
$360
$660
along with alignment is there anything else i need to get done once i install the springs..also does anyone know how our tires are supposed to be rotated....

it says in the manual how to rotate stock tires. let's say the pessenger front, you will then put it in pessenger rear, then driver front, then driver rear, etc.... that's if you have stock tires or in general non-directional tires
if you have directional tires you can only rotate between front and rear
rominl said:well, *ideally*, you should do alignment twice, once right after you install the springs (that will correct any immediate errors) and once after the springs settle (which should be around a month at most).
now installing springs on our cars aren't that hard, and normall it shouldn't affect the alignment in great deal. PLUS, our stock tires are pretty "hard" to begin with so even if you alignment is out, the tires should be able to deal with it for a while. that's why i said you might be better off just do it after the springs settle.
let me use my case for reference. i installed my springs, and i drove over 2k miles and 4 weeks, before i went to get alignment done. results showed that pretty much everything was still within spec before i got alignment done, except the camber. i still have negative camber even now, but it has been over 6k miles and my tires STILL don't have uneven wear.
sure, drive the car out on a straight road and do 50mph. let go of the steering wheel and see if your car goes in certain directionEscamar said:
thanks...ill see how the alignment is once i get my springs installed..
$660???? WTF shop could justify charging that much for a spring install? For that price, that better include the springs themselves, along with a 4-wheel alignment...Escamar said:ok i finally got my springs and now i need to find a place...
