Question Lowering spring install help? (tC)
Planning to buy some lowering spring and see if anyone can help me to install it??
I am a broke college student and cannot afford the expensive installation by shop.
PM me if you can help, we can talk more deeply in PM.

I live in Norcal Bay Area. Thank you!

Hmmm. It's not too hard to put in just springs. Do you already have them? Where do you live? Do you work weekends? Oh, btw, check your PM's. Donger sent you a Private Message

dude, 100 is not bad, esp. if you can't do it yourself. beggars can't be choosers.

springs are hard to install really. if anything, you just need to rent a spring compressor from Autozone or something and they'll give you back your money when you return it.

You can't really risk it and at $75, you should just pay up and get them properly installed by someone who has done it before.

Yup, right across the parking lot (been there, done that with my 9mm), and Auto Innovations is right next door to Gabe for the necessary alignment after suspension work.
