Default (Thanks Scott2000) Install springs for a fee ?

I just got some Tein S-tech and I'd like to install them myself so I can learn more about the car.
I've installed springs in my Si long ago and it was a PITA to do it myself.
I found a DIY that's easy enough but I'd like someone who has done this before.
I live near UCF. My place your place...doesn't matter.
Please PM me and let me know your fee.
Oh, and if you have kids, I can get 3 people in any of the Disney park for FREE too.
Thanks.

I work for beer and pizza. And I can bring a spring compressor if you need it. We can knock that ish out in about 3 hours if it's just 2 of us. About half that if you have access to air tools. I'm only about 10 minutes from UCF, so just let me know.

We just got done installing the springs just now.(more him than myself)
Scott2000 has done it before so he knew what to do.
It was easy enough but trying to get the front bolts out was a PITA.
It was a 5 hr job because he had to make 2 trip getting some liquid bolt and a neccessary socket.
Trying to align the holes so we can put the bolts back in was a PITA too.
I just don't see how one person can do it unless somehow it lines up for you perfectly.
I had offer money before hand and he refused.
After the job took longer than necessary, I offered money again but he refused. I said at least take some gas money but he refused that too.
He pretty much did all the work as I only helped out here and there.
Those who have met him before know what a great guy he is.
I can't say thank you enough.

Hahaha, I was happy to help. Yeah, it was one of those situations where things just didn't want to line up perfectly the first time. But we got it done, and the car is gonna look sick.

Unfortunately I did not hydrate myself enough and blacked out when I got home. After a few hours at the hospital and a couple bags of IV fluids, they let me go back home. I'm feeling great today though. And definitely learned a lesson about drinking more water than you're sweating out. Hahahaha
