Default hks sf5 spring info ?

i tried to install hks sf5 springs on my 1998 gs300 last weekend. What a joke had compressor and all tools. After hours of trying with the left front i gave it up and put it all back together. Does anyone know where i can get them installed a a decent price they are trying to charge me $375.00 more than the springs. also, i have 18" wheels the springs are 1.6" in front and .5" in the rear will they rub? how is it going to ride i drive a lot? how is it going to look ? need info ????

Most performance shops can install it...

As for the clearance, it all depends on the width of your tire and the offset of your wheels. A 18x10 +5 with a 285 tire will rub...as will a 18x7 -24 with a 235 tire...you have to be more specific.

Also, with only a 1.6" and 0.5" drop, you'll only have to worry about rubbing if you hit a decent dip or you have five normal build people in the car...

I have 20x8.5 +38 with a 245/35-20 and a 20x9.5 +37 with a 275/30-20 with a 2" to 3" drop (haven't measured it recently) and I don't have any rubbing except for when the wheel is turned hard to the left or right and I either hit a dip or have someone laying on the hood (don't ask) while the wheel is turned that hard.
