Help!
How much should i expect to pay for a spring install?
I've called a few shops and have gotten around 100-200 dollars not including alignment. I've decided on the eibach Prokit springs, and i've read that i wont need a rear camber kit since its not that aggresive of a drop. Sun tire would charge me 100 dollars to install the springs then an extra 70 for alignment, so 170 total, plus 200 for springs, so nearly $400. does that sound right? how hard is it to DIY?

170 is pretty good considering it comes with an alignment afterwards.
yea doing it yourself would be a lot cheaper but if your not sure of what your doing or could get help from someone who does your best bet is doing it through that shop. wait til the springs settle to do the alignment first. |

Locally, I've heard everything from $120 to $300.
Personally, I reccomend getting with some local members & doing it yourself. You'll get the experience & then will know what to do when someone else asks the same question. I was in the same boat as you-- I was going to pay a shop to do mine & then a friend said he'd help. Use the money you save & have the car aligned after.

i have the pro kit...an you should definalty get the camber kit. when i had my alignment done both rear tires were bordering 3 degrees off...and it looks just as bad.
the install is very easy..i recommend you give it a try. the most difficult part for me was to take the top plate off the front strut...then i simply used an impact gun and it just came right off...no need to loosen the allen key screw while using a wrench to hold it in place.<<< you will see what i mean when you get to it. besides that...just follow the DIY that is on this site. |
