Just wanted to know, whats a reasonable price for a lowering springs install?

 

i would say about 120-200 bux. some places charge more, some less, depending on the place.

 

Free...I did it myself as a first timer.

 

mine were also free, but some people arent too fortunate

 

DIY for the cost of a spring compressor... if not, it shouldn't be more than 120-200 bucks...

 

I got ripped off, they charged me 300 for struts and springs.

Free.

 

Or rent it from AutoZone for a refundable $40.

 

FREE.

all by myself (with a spring compressor)...1st timer. took 4 hours and I was very happy.

 

if you were around me, i would help you out, i have done at least 5 other members cars. but to pay for it, i guess is about $200 dollars, but not worth it, do it yourself.

 

I did it myself the first time and it took me about 4 hours. Make sure you have a good set of spring compressors and be careful. I try to have two sets on hand, it makes it easier on the front springs or if one binds up. Now it takes me about 2 hours to do a set.

 

Seriously, check out one of the online writeups and set aside a Saturday. Anybody with average mechanical skills can do it with basic hand tools (plus the compressors, which you can rent at Autozone for free with a 40$ deposit). You can do it in your driveway. It would make it easier and faster if you have a friend who can help with taking out the next strut while you work on replacing one spring at a time.

Remember that no mechanic in the world cares for your car like you do. And if you do it yourself, it will really give you alot of confidence to tackle other jobs. I was a bit apprehensive when I first started, but now I pretty much know my car inside and out.

After it's done, drive your car straight to a shop that will do an alignment. Call ahead just to be sure that they will align a car with aftermarket springs. Alot of shops really suck and cant do it.

 

Also, maybe get a couple .Org members local to ya and have em help ya, since its nice to have someone who has experience with it... I'm sure there are people who are more than willing to have a mini-mod meet... people around here do it occassionally...

 

$16 shipped - http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...temnumber=3980

will do the install myself with a Big Ass break bar. A Compressor if I can get my hands on one, with tools.
