anyone have a ball park of how much it would be to install lowering springs?

 

if youve got the room to do it yourself and a few buddies to help all it will cost you is the beer youll have to buy to get the help and a spring compressor(assuming you have a basic tool set) isnt really that hard with all the info on here, youll spend alot less than paying a shop to do it with their hourly charge, and youll come out knowing its f=done right and spend less, even if you have to buy some tools yourself

 

If you have an Advanced Auto Parts in your area they have loaner tool programs. You pay them to rent it and when you return the tool undamaged you get all your money back. Take a day out of your schedule if you can. Its not as hard really, unless you lack the available time. You can start by taking apart the rear interior so you can access the bolts.

1. Torque wrench (loaner program) $50? 60?
2. Basic metric tool set $40 or so
3. Breaker bar & sockets for your wheels $30
4. Spring compressors (loaner program) $45 I think
5. Basic knowledge of how to use the above and how to maneuver through your car.
6. Slight elbow grease
7. And of-course the time to do all the above lol.

So the real cost to you would be a day out of your life and <$100 as opposed to taking it to a shop where they charge you about $200, twice the original! My cousin and I installed my H-techs and we've only messed with a tC suspension once prior to that and the install was simple. There are install threads. Read up on it for a few days and get familiar with it and your car. Its worth the effort for sure. I actually intend on installing Raceland coilovers myself whenever I can afford em, it really is that easy even with minimal auto knowledge.
