Eibach Prokit
I just bought some eibach prokit for my coupe. I dont know how hard installtion is but the place I bought it from was going to charge me $150 to install it. does this sound like a reasonable price? also, they said the reason it was so much is because its a pain to install especially on the 01-03, and that they would have to set the bearings or whatever so that when i turn there wont be any popping noise. is it necessary to do all this?

There's a link that should help you let me find it
LINK There ya go, if you got the tools it's not that hard but either way $150 is a bit much to install springs

if you havent done suspension before and dont have someone who has helping you, it might be challenging for you.
but with Mex's DIY you should struggle too much.. If I was doing it again I'd see how much the cheapest place will do it for, cause im lazy and it is a lot of work.

Rep Power: 0 Installing springs was my first DIY. Just follow through the DIY and get all the tools ready. You may want to get a breaker bar to get the rear control arm bolt out.
