Hi Guys~

Thanks!

springs are a simple 2hr. install for any auto repair shop or local friend who knows about home auto repairs and has the tools. All you need to do is get a price quote. as far as the best spring brand, there are many write ups/opinions on SL. Good Luck......

talk to Rick at Import DPS. (215) 227-6000. Just ask for Rick and only him. He's the only one I can really count on for parts/installs.

It is fine if the the shop is near by Franklin Mills Mall. what i want to do is I will buy lowering springs kit from e-bay, and get the stuff to the shop for installing. Hopefully,i will get a fair price. Actually, i already ask the price in Philly, they need me to pay $ 600 for labor cost. I feel like it doesn't make sense.... as we said DIY for install, I haven't have it experience, it will make a danger on the road...I don't truth myself....
