Spring Install

Hey guys,

I'm in TX for christmas, and I just got a set of Espelir GT springs for my car. I had a friend out here who's an experienced mechanic and had a key to a shop with a spring compressor. He was gonna help me out, but when he talked to his friend who owned the shop, he said he couldn't do it because of the insurance. So now I'm screwed. I spent most of my xmas money on the springs. Does anyone know any shops in the LA area that are cheap, and what's average for a spring install? Unless, anyone want's to help a brotha out.

-Danny

I'm getting one for my b-day in march. I just got a PM from a shop that'll do everything for $80. And I have $100 left over, so I think that's what I'll do since I'm lazy. Everywhere in TX has been telling me an hour per corner and about $250. Thanks Sigma.

definitely not an hour per corner...
depending on how much goofing off is done, it's a total job of a couple hours

Yea but you told me that you'd do it after I posted this. I went on a posting rampage and put this up in 5 different forums on 3 different websites. But yea, I'm making Kim do it. And then I'm gonna make her wash it. BIATCH!!
