Default Spring installation question/price

Hey guys, so this came up kinda last minute because i want to buy some springs off of a SL member. But im not familiar at all with suspensions and how it works, so I dont know how to change the springs myself. But are there anyone out there who knows someone/can install springs for a decent/cheap price? shops charge too much for it so I dont want to get it done there. If you do installations, please hit me a PM and give me a price of what youre asking for.

I live in San Gabriel Valley / 626 Area (SOCAL)
Thanks!

This vid is all you need. A buddy to help will make it much easier. I decided to do it on my own and it took me almost 5 hrs but I'm in a wheelchair

When installing springs for the first time, id suggest getting someone else to do it and not yourself. Your talking about risking your life to save some money installing springs. With that being said, its not difficult but seeing someone else do it first will help you in the future if you ever want to swap out the springs/go back to stock/upgrade to coils/etc.

Yeah ^ what you guys said. This is exactly what I mean. Haha. I'm low on money but at the same time I really wanna lower my car so I'm trying to find the cheapest price and someone who knows exactly what they're doing. Once again, if you are local and you can help me out, pm me the price and how it make work out! Thanks
