i SHOULD do it in daylight, so safe bet would be tomorrow (availability of my buds and his tools) morning and end around late afternoon depending on what i break .

you've installed springs before? is it just straight forward work?

^bro. why not just pay $40-60 to get it installed. I personally like to do installation myself (now no time because of my 2 kids) but there is some place that will do it for that price. let me know, I have a shop that can do it for you.

it's pretty straight forward. i used the write-up found on 350z- tech.com. like i said before, it will be a lot of easier if you have a friend to help you with the fronts. the rear can be swapped out in ~20 minutes.

hey mike where is this shop, do you use them?

tempting to have it done faster for 40 - 60 but nothing like working on your own car.

Their old school, I was one of the OG customer's they have since 1995.
"Autohaus" is the name located by Giano/valley blvd. Terrence is the owner so asked for him, let me know if you're interested so I can give him a call and I'll PM you with the address.

Damn. $40-60 is SUPER cheap. I've never heard of anyone doing it that cheap who actually has a shop.

That's him! As soon as you walk-in he will say "wat's up GUY" if you been there before, if you're a new customer He would say "What can I do for you, GUY" and then if he new you and know you spend a lot of money at the shop then he starts calling by your name. That guy is funny! If you need a BBK go to him I think besides endless and stoptech BBK he will hook you up plus $200 for the installation.

so then it's even cheaper for coilovers?

i would imagine so since you don't have to remove the spring from the shock and just completely take the whole unit out.
