Default Installation of Springs

So my next purchase for my car is going to be Tein S.Tech Lowering Springs, and I'm currently saving up the $200+ to get them, but can anyone give me an estimated price for professional installation in the Seattle-Tacoma area?

just be active in the community and we'll be happy to help you out. I haven't changed the springs on a tC before but I have some spring compressors that'll come in handy

Where you located,have done them,they are easy to do,no need to pay a shop to do it,most shops in the NW charge over $300 most closer to $400.

Head out to some of the meets and get check out our cars,we do all our own work on our cars,once you see you will see there is no need to pay a shop to do the work.

We work for beer and pizza,or even soda and pizza,or even pizza,or just for something to do.

Well that is fairly close to Olympia where we have the garage and tools,you would jsut need to get the Mcpherson spring compressor from Autozone,it is like $40 and when we are done with install they take it back for a full refund so no actual cost for the tool......we know what we are doing and it takes about 5-6 hours tops,just depends on if the springs give us a paint to go on or off.
