Help installing Springs and Sways East Mass

Just wondering if there is anyone out there that has experience and can help me install my hotchkis kit? The local shop wants 600 and it just seems out rageous, when I hear that its not that complicated. Help a brother out!

I am in the Metro West area, beer and food will be included plus compensation and no I am not a hot blonde sorry

If it was just sways, I'd help you... but I've never done springs.

Did you get new end-links and nuts? I stripped a couple of nuts and messed up one endlink when I did mine. Had to go back and replace them all on a later date.

If all of you are installing springs soon, I may pick some up and install them at the same time. I haven't started researching on what springs or how the quality of the ride is, but springs seem to be the most financially doable thing for me to get my baby lowered.

I have installed springs on my integra before and shocks and springs on my old TSX. So I do have some knowledge on installing this stuff.

Let me know if/when you guys do this so that I can purchase something.

Count me down to give a hand if needed. I installed my Tein Suspension in my driveway with a Snap-On impact wrench at 12am . It is'nt to complicated. Just make sure it isn't 20 degrees outside though...lol

Joe appreciate the hookup, but the shop is a little out of the way and the price difference isnt that much less to warrent strapping the box to the roof and hauling it there. Next time I have something installed I'll have it shipped directly to the shop address that way this won't happen again. Thanks again!

Well, if people still plan to have an install day, let me know.

Are people mostly on lowering springs only? I could afford springs right now, but if I go to coilovers, I would have to wait.

If we have this install day, I wouldn't mind having people show me what I have to take off to get to my CAI filter...so that I can clean it.
