I think Eric did it himself. I'm pretty sure of it. I recommend a place in Durham called Higher Standard automotive. They can hook you up right.

well i live in fayetteville but was willing to go to raleigh. Maybe durham but i called the place u recommended and they said they have no idea how much it would cost...

I called a few local places ( a place called car toys for big boys or something) and they said it would cost $250 for all 4 corners. Isnt that a tad high? I also called another local place just to see and they said the same thing basically............

Is this normal or should i be able to get them installed for less?

I did my springs myself. Twice. Without power tools.

I've used Phantasm Motorsports on Capital Blvd in Raleigh for simple stuff like that and they charge $65/hr. I think a competent shop could do it in 2 hours.

got my RS-R springs installed today. Bought them from Speed Dreams Motoring they had a good price.. $250 or so. Tad more expensive than online sites but its semi local. He knew of an installer that works from his house. Was little worried but i decided to let him do it. Went to his house and he worked on it. He did a good job (watched him the whole time) he charged $150 which is alot cheaper than other places i asked. So far the ride quality isnt much better but handeling sure is!

Going to get an alignment tomorrow.. Then ill post my final opinions on them
