just do them yourself... The back springs should take no more than 10 minutes a side, and i think it was one bolt on the bottom, and the two inside the trunk. The front is the work, but it shouldn't take that long. Just beware of the dual dampening shocks. I have those exact same springs, and it was actually a lot easier to put those on than it was for me with a bunch of hondas i dropped.

If you're looking to take them in, it'll probably cost around $120.

Or if you guys want, we can have a quick install day at my house. Crap part is, I'm in waipio gentry. I wasn't planning on installing my springs until I got my rims but I wanted to help out with the drop. That way I learn from you guys since this is my first time doing springs on a 350z.

Its fairly easy to do on stands. The trick for the fronts is after undoing the 3 nuts up top, its easier to pop the nut off the A-arms and let the whole thing swing out. saves alot of time.
