cheap place to install springs?
I want to install some Eibach Sportlines on my 04 civic's stock shocks. Anyone know a cheap place to install them near downtown boston? Cheap like under $100?

I've seen so many people asking about a cheap shop, and so far I havent seen any posts of under $150-200.. maybe find someone to DIY it for you?

Rep Power: 320 if I was you I would replace ur shocks/struts aswell, because its just as much work, so replace the whole suspension setup, and then pay $150-200 for it, its worth it.
after alignment and everything mine ended up costing me around 700, and that was DIY'd and I got Sportlines and Tokicos.

I can do it with MishBallzEM2, but you would need to drive out here. We have all the tools and a lift. That job would be about 1 1/2 hrs max. Let me know....I did all my own installs when I had my 01 EX(same set-up as urs) and Mish has already done his springs on his 04 EX. Let me know

damn lift would have been nice.. I've done the DIY twice and both times it took 5+hours.. first time we ran into a few probs and we also had to drill tokicos. and im sure having the right tools helps quite a bit too

Rep Power: 328 Ohh pulling the panels out is not an issue, i've stripped my entire car with no problems (right Keith? ) I've just never taken the headliner out of a civic.
Black - Yeah, Sherpa is real expensive though, cause alot of them have scars from crampons or ice axes, so a clean smooth hide is very pricy.
