Labor costs for lowering spring installation?
#33
I do em for $125 in front of my driveway. I got all the tools i need for the job. 1000ft-lbs IR impact gun, 30gal 130psi air compressor, stand alone spring compressor (not one of those portable ones). Takes me about 2 hours with help maybe even faster. I actually have an ad on cl (craigslist ) but just lazy to repost it. I've been busy with work and just wanted to relax on weekends lately

I just installed the Eibach Pro Kit. I did the front first then the rear a couple of days later. The only part I needed help with was to pull the struts out and lining up the lower mounts when putting them back in. One person has to push down on the lower arm when pulling them out and putting them back in to line up the lower strut mount. Took me about 2.5 hrs each end.. took my time with it. Got a spring compressor kit rental from Pep Boy's for free ($40 deposit) Impact gun is nice to have for this job. I thought the ride was a little too stiff at first but after about 400 miles it loosened up just wright. Got the alignment done at about 500 miles. Only problem I am having is they could not adjust the camber in the front anymore so the camber in the front is out of spec by .3 I need to get the SPC adjustable upper ball joint or the FIGS adjustable upper arm bushings to get back in spec.
