the install is fairly simple. just go pick yourself up some spring compressors at a auto store for like $20 set aside about 4-6hrs of time if your using hand tools and you'll probably run into a hard bolt to remove and just start removing it yourself. if the bolts arent stuck really tight you should be able to do it all in about 3hrs or less.

well obviously i wouldnt be making this post if i was mechanically inclined. i always love reading posts about asking where to get things installed, and theres always one person who chimes in "do it yourself its simple" ........now, does anyone know of a place that charges under $200???

there is a place near me that did my tC for $200. I don't know of anywhere else though. The place that did mine is called Under Pressure Automotive. Heres the website: http://www.deanjoyce.com/upauto/index.htm
He has 2 guys working for him cause he can't work since hes in a wheelchair. They 2 guys really know what they are doing and are cool too. They did mine in about 2 hrs. One guy working on my car though.

just try any repair shop in your area..
installing springs isn't rocket science.
any competent mechanic at any repair shop
can install them.
