    What is the typical cost of a spring installation? how much did u guys pay to get your springs installed or did you install them yourself. Im getting the tien springs from a shop and the installation price seems a bit high.

    well an allignment isn't much really. i think i paid like 40 to get it done.

    i wouldn't pay to get coilovers installed just because they aren't that difficult to do. the thing would get the everything equal and sitting right

    I have the teins installed.. i dont have a camber kit.. my tires are wearing down.. but ive gotten my use outa them.. stock tires on cars are never that good.. you will be fine w/out a camber kit.. just make sure you rotate your tires and get an allignment about 2 weeks after you get the springs installed. give the springs time to settle.
