Default Suspension Install question

I will say this before anything. I do NOT really have the time or the proper tools to do this myself, unless someone in TN wants to help

Now, does discount tire install suspension? I can easily call them tomorrow and ask but I figured I would at least post on here tonight and see. I am going with swift spec-r and koni sport shocks. I like working on my car and can do some things, but I'm afraid a suspension install is too much for me. I do NOT have the tools or patience. I just moved to TN a few months ago and don't really have any friends yet that I would trust to help. So it looks like I need someone else to install my suspension. Any suggestions?

Post in your local area subforum and I am sure there are plenty of people that can help. If nothing else, if you are close to Huntsville, AL we may have some folks that can help when we get together for a maintenance day in the coming weeks.

You need a cheapo socket set and a cheap torque wrench. Discount screws up tire installs I wouldn't let them touch anything mechanical on the car. Post in your subforum. Someone could help or at least point you to a reputable shop.

Suspension is cake. Just installed an upper A-arm (boot busted, probably could of just replaced boot but didnt want to risk since i been driving on it for a year..) and it took like 30 minutes if that? Discount tire does nothing but tires and wheels, nothing else. I worked there years ago for like 2 years lol.
