Try local performance shop. You can installed them less than 100. I installed my spring, sways, strut bar for 90.

Usually under $100, just talk em down. Or you could DIY

rominl and songoku:
The spring compressor you can rent for free from Autozone has a safety on it for a reason. And I haven't heard of someone getting one that doesn't fit :dunno:

If your definition of "wimp" includes having the foresight to take my car to a professional to have the springs and shocks installed, taking less than two-hours of my time for the procedure, having a nice extended lunch during that two-hour wait, having a guarantee that the job is done right, not having to borrow installation equipment, and not having to worry about the remote possibility of jamming a spring into my face, all at the insignificant cost of $80..... well, then yes I submit you may be correct. Or did you mean "intelligent"?

Ha ha ha ha ha touche. I agree. I guess it comes from my not knowing anything about cars, then starting to work on them, and doing everything myself. So from my point of view, with a little research and work you can do just about anything yourself (no engine swaps etc...that's a wee bit too hard) in terms of bolt-ons and quasi bolt-ons (springs being the latter). I totally agree that not everyone has the technical ability to do so. I do want them to at least entertain the idea...then they can assess for themselves if they can do it or not. Take amirsafdari's post about taking 11 hours to install his AEM CAI with the turney clicky thing (ratchet wrench). He should not try this. But take jyang411...he had no clue how to do it...but we did it easily enough. And he really got into it and figured out how to do it etc etc. I won't stop giving the option of DIY, but if I know someone has no clue how to do this kind of stuff, or they make it clear they don't, I'll give other advice. And if I was Tim Taylor I'd have a 300hp impact wrench doing it, which I wish I had .

Hell yeah man it was fun...plus I know you'll help me with the NOS and the headers.

Can't think of when I'll be up around there...making an East Coast trip this summer up to NJ...but Cleveland...hmmm...
