Can someone point me to a DIY or writeup on this? I searched and can't seem to find one...

Just googled around and there you go - unfortunately without pictures but it will probably help you though.

Update:

Here you go with a DIY for coilovers which is nearly the same for springs only...

1) Drive car to local suspension shop.

2) Drop car off

3) Pick up car two hours later

4) Pay at counter

I'm thinking about going this route.... What is the going rate on getting this done? I don't wanna get screwed on price.

Should take them around 2-3 hours to do.

The quote was $450... reasonable?

**Squarrl** · 05-21-2008 02:54 PM

That would seem to be a bit high, 4 hours at $100 an hour.

He says 4.9 hours... I think I'll try somewhere else :D

Between 300-400 is about fair.

Took me 4 ish hours to do my coilovers the first time I did it so I would think it would take a pro less time but maybe not.
