$350 for all the springs?? I had my springs install by Tidewater Z in Poquoson. I don't how much he will charge since his prices went up for labor. The owner, Todd,is very good and he also autocrosses a 350Z and is president of the Z club too.

Really, that's awesome. There is one that is a block and half away. I thinkg I will def do that, but how do you use it to to remove the springs? Sorry for the dumb question, but like I said I am novice at suspension work. I am just afraid I might mess something up b/c I know you have to remove the dust boot and top hat and adjust the spring to fit correctly back on the old shocks or something if I am correct! Keep all the great info coming!!

well they charge you like $30 bucks, but you get it back when you return them. i did my own spring/shock install by following the diy. this was my 1st install too.

Not aam in Maryland, All Aspect Motorsports (I just abbreviated it to AAM). I would never travel that far just for springs. How much is it to have Citymunky Motorsports install them? If it's not too bad I just might do that.

Isnt this an auto hobby shop?....the people that run those are paid just to hand out tools and they charge a stall fee and tool fee....its like 4 bucks and hour

i dont know why they would tell you $350 maybe they meant 3.50 and hour

I am not positive, but they said they do installs and when I called it sounded like they were working on quite a few cars cause I could hear the impact gun running in the background.

I'm going to be installing my brakes when I get back. Maybe I could make time to do your springs.
