Spring Install

How much should I expect to pay to get new springs installed. I called the local speed shop and they said 180. Is this right?

and you cant do it yourself without a spring compressor right?

thanks alot

you need a spring compressor. 180 sounds a little high, especially when you could do yours for just the price of renting a spring compressor

just go to your local auto parts store that rents tools. I went to the AutoZone by my house.

Here's the link:

I also went to Autozone and rented spring compressors for free. They require $40.00 and when you go back to return the compressors they give you back the $40.00, it's a free rental
