Default Need some help with spring install

Ive asked and called around, but cannot seem to find a place to put springs on for less than 350 dollars! this seems rediculous to me. Is there anyone around Atlanta that would be willing to help me put a set on, or someone have a spring compressor lying around I could borrow. even a recommendation for a place that can install them cheap. Thanks in advance.

Is this a spring install or spring/shock combo?

I think for the front ones you would probably need a compressor to take off the stock springs. The rear ones should slide in pretty easily. A manual spring compressor you could borrow at Kragens or Pep Boys like another poster said. You should have a good socket set before you start. Namely a 17mm socket and preferably power tools (would make it a lot easier). Good luck.
