shocks sound about right and thoes are the ones id choose for the stiffer ride. install it urself if u can, its pretty damn easy just time cosuming. though 150 sounds low for labor.

Id like to know too!

And spring compressors are CHEAP!...and if you STILL didnt want to buy one...you can use the AutoZone/Advanced Auto/Oreilly's loan-a-tool and use it for free. It's really not hard at all.

my mistake, i was lookin at the gen3 stuff, old habits die hard

there is stuff on ebay for cheaper but u have to include shipping

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EIBAC...spagenameZWD1V


im asuming that the price quoted is with shipping so i guess thats the going rate. seems stiff but they are the best.

u will need a complete socket set, jack, jackstands, and breaker bar mostlikely to do it yourself. so if he really is only gonna charge 150 for labor then that might be worth it.

Eibach Gen3 springs arent that cheap either. They are $240 shipped on ebay. I WISH I could find them for less than $150 shipped! That'd be AWESOME!

ive seen them for less then 200 but all the sites i used to source are gone so maby they're not that cheap anymore. but thats besides the point, i think that combo, for the install price of only 150 is a good deal. post some pics up when u get it done man

150 for labor is a great deal...jump on that, before they change their mind!
