The stealership will not be any different in price my friend, you got to find the homie discount or just find another z member take a day off and slap those suckers on yourself. Good hands on experience

thanks for this thread, good info here.

frustrating thing on shopping for springs here in the marketplace and on my350z is most spring-sellers ck the site/their pms once every 45 years

I asked zcargarage about installing springs, and they quoted me about $350. Springs are cheap, but installing is pretty expensive. Also, that doesn't even include alignment lol

yea they're Z htechs, it was fun to do, but i'm not happy with the drop, rear is definitely too high.i hope to get coilovers someday so too lazy to do the springmount mod, the car was on an incline though so not sure if that made the rear look higher

springmount mod is free! don't pay for it and don't pay 500 to install springs! do it yourself and with the money you save buy some new toys for your car. i live in jersey so if you wanna take a road trip i will be installing mine next week

ya most tuner shops out here quoted me 120-150.. since i wanted a better job done i just took it to Precision Z.. but even that was 200 cash for a 3 hour job (yes i stood there and watched him for all 3 hrs).. for $500 u might as well get coilovers lol.

if u want to do it urself u better know very well what you are doing.. i wouldn't mess with it @.@
