i did it myself, i think that the fronts were more of a PITA than the rears. took like 2 1/2 hours by myself but wasn't all that bad. especially the 2 big bolts connecting the hub to the strut.

Yeah, just call around. You might want to edit your title to include "in the Buffalo area". That way if peeps in your area see this, they can recommend a place. I had somebody (Stylis) from this site install my springs when he installed my Axle Back.

Not really. All you need is a manual spring compressor, which runs about $25 at many auto parts stores.

Default Struts?

Do you need to purchase new struts. Before lowering the vehicle. I have lowering springs do I need to buy new struts or shocks with it? I have a Tc

don;t have to, but if ur gonna install em, mite as well get em now so u can do 2 birds with one stone. I din have the $$ at the time of my springs install, so i din do it.

you can ride ur stock shocks till they wear out n replace if u arent gonna sell em or anything.

Which kind of gives you another suggestion. Call around to a few reputable shops and see what they'll charge. Some places will do it for like $100 or less. That's a great price for springs in my book. Some dealers will be $250+.
haha I called one dealer they wanted $510 I think im going do it myself then have monroe swap the springs
