Drop springs install
So how difficult is it to change the springs? I got my progress drop springs from Kevin now all i have to do is get em on the car. The guy with the shop who was going to do it for $50 backed out of it and every place i called wants between $150-$200 to do the install.

JAx, super easy.. If you don't have a compressor you should be able to rent one for $15.00 bucks.. Rears are a snap..

Rears are really easy - I supported rear axle with a piece of 2x6 between axle & floor jack to avoid bending axle.

Worst case, see what they will do the fronts only for. If you are not confident of your abilities, you may want to farm those out. The rears are so easy you can definitely do it yourself.
