I did tc springs once and I'm not doing them again. Sean might be able to help but I think he's still in the same boat as I am on them, You have to disassemble half the car to do them and every bolt seems to be rusted on or over torqued by the factory.
The only bolts I had trouble with were the rear lower shock bolts. Big PITA, torque specs say like 110 ft lbs or something rediculous like that. I retorqued mine as best I could. We do have a nifty new wall mounted spring compressor up at work that I would love to try out. Only problem is, they are total _____es about us working on our own cars, on or off the clock. I'll see what can be done. Maybe disassemble the car at one location, take pieces to work, put springs on, reassemble car. I did mine on my own with a help of a friend and the tC was a year old and had been through one winter. I would say it took us maybe 6 hours with manual spring compressors.

^^ Thanks man if you can help at all. I just got the quote of 425 and i really would love to not have to pay that much. Almost all of my bolts have been loosened at one point but i understand the PITA that rust causes. Looks like i might be stuck paying the mechanic.
And to John, There is a "tech-how to" on the tC springs, but i don't really have the tools (spring compressor) and haven't ever attempted suspesion work. I don't wanna *** myself.
