heh how hard to install springs you asked...even if you have the right right tools to do it...it's gonna take a while. let's see for my car it was about 5 hours in the front (coulda been a lot less...like 3) and 2-3 hours at the back. I'm planning to install my camber kit along with some friends this weekend cuz it really isn't that hard if you got the tools. Afterward i'll have to get an alignment. Considering that your springs and camber would be installed professionally...355 is probably around there if you don't wanna screw anything up, but the price could be a little less.

just cause it takes awhile doesnt mean its hard.. if you have the right tools and you have minimal skills and understand what your doing, then it should be fairly easy. and 355 is way too damn much.. spring install can be found for 80-120. 100 easy, 80 you have to call around... and i've heard places charging $100 for a camber kit but wtf, its only 3 bolts for the rear and 1 bolt for the front.. shouldnt take no more then 30 mins for all sides and half the time is jacking up the car and getting the wheels off... $100 for a camber kit install is highway robbery. i got my springs installed for $70, i heard of 2 places that do it for $50.

around here cheapest for springs is probably $75.00...i dun even wanna bother askin about cambers cuz that's easier then springs IMO. If your going to DIY for springs...get a good spring compressor unless you wanna shoot it out good luck. What kind springs r u interested in anyways?

check under the DIY section.. theres about 3 DIYs. 2 for coilovers and 1 for konis.. use those as guides. also look at my detailed DIY up at the top on the suspension forum. it covers what the other DIYs dont.
camber kit.. just install it. you can eyeball it and adjust it yourself but i really dont see a point in getting a camber kit when your not even going to get an alignment..

You'll learn the first time how to do it. 2nd time is a good review though[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
