i wouldn't say that install price is that bad, if you really can't do it yourself or with a more knowledgeable friend. just make sure you set them so that you're tucking tire all around haha.

If you were closer I'd just have you bring it over, hand you the tools, and show you how to install them.

16 and spending $1300

Hmmm must be nice.... But yea 300 for install is way to much... I got mine installed for 100$

cant tell if this is a negative comment or just comes off that way.... but anyways i work hard for my money myswell spend it :eek: and 25 per corner thats a good deal.

I wish I had friends who didn't know how to use hand tools.

I'd gladly install coilovers for a hundred bucks. Lol
Especially as easy as our suspension is.

this is what i like to call a "Homie install." Grab a buddy and some beers and tacos and you get it done. There's literally nothing you can strip or eff up. That is the beauty of coilover install. no seperating springs or anything.

on a seperate note 300 to install from a shop aint that expensive. In my experience figuring the ride height is the time consuming part. That alone takes a few hours so $300 isn't bad.

All you need is a socket set, low profile jack from harbor frieght and a sturdy bar to push stuff down with. You can pickup all this stuff for $100

PS: i know a lot of people will suggest installing them myself. But im 16 and have little knowledge on suspension and no access to the neccesary tools, so maybe in the future :lawl:

Don't let being young keep you from doing things your self. I'm 17 and I recently lowered my car with a little help from my dad, a whole lot of sweat, and some hand tools.

Honestly I feel much more confident in working on my car after I finished this project. Experience is not something you should hide from, if you have the chance to do it yourself, do it!
