Need a quote for spring install...

I would like quote to install my Cobb springs. They will stay on the stock struts. I have a 06 wagon with about 40k miles. And if not a quote what am i looking at as far as price goes.

I would do it myself but i don't have the tools and really wanna deal with it.

Thanks in advance,
Ryan

Don't need much really. The only specialty tool you'll need is an impact wrench. Even an electric impact would work.

Ya, the impact wrench helps a lot, especially if you're doing it by yourself.

Yes, they make things so much easier!

I've successfully done 4 sets of springs, and 1 set of coilovers. No failures lol

Unfortunately I live kinda far away from you. I would be more than happy to come help you do them for a beer if i'm in the area. Where do you live?

You're a good two hours from Sonora. But ya, if you want, we can do em here. I'll ask trevor if we can do it at his house and use his impact wrench.

I rent spring compressors at Autozone, they are free with $50 deposit. I wouldn't do it without spring compressors unless you have someone helping you, even then I'd rent them.

I'm in Sebastopol, just west of Santa Rosa, have all the tools, and have either done or assisted on over a dozen spring installs on sedans and wagons as well as our favorite, the Foresters.

Sent you PM.

I'd offer to help, but with a three month old baby my time is very precious. It's hard enough fitting in time to do my own 90K service let alone do a spring install. If Greg (Roo) can't get you sorted out though, let me know.

it's not that difficult. i have a really small garage and broke a few tools in the process so it took me most of the day, but it shouldn't take that long. make sure to get it aligned soon after.

I didn't read through all the posts, but if you decide to do it yourself, or find help but lack tools, I have a spring compressor you can use. lmk
