Default Spring Installation

I bought some Swift Spec R's the other day, just came in the mail. Anyone know of a shop that wont charge and arm and a leg to get these installed in the Seattle area? Thank you!

But yeah.. I could help you out. I think I got spring compressors laying around somewhere. that's the only pain really, swapping the springs over.

$25 per corner should be reasonable with spring disassembly involved.

What kind of drop do u get with those springs and I just recently installed mines less than 2 weeks ago. I was having a lot of problems with the rear. Took me about 2.5 days with the help of my wife. I've done lowering springs b4 this is my 2nd s2k but every car is different. Last time it took me a day. The part that was giving me problems was aligning the rear bolt where the arm and strut connects. I have all the tools needed for install and enough jack stands to get the leverage. I stay in kent and would be able to finish the job within the time frame. If interested pm me

Damn I'm just going to take my car to you when I need things done. That is dirty cheap for installing springs. I did the springs on the fit and I'll never do that again.

Not sure what struts you're on, but they gave me about a 1 inch drop on stock CR struts.
