Hi folks. Just picked up my car after a long wait. I had tires and springs waiting for her. I took the tires to a Les Schwab for mounting and the manager told me they'd install an Eibach Pro Kit for $120, plus an alignment.

I tried a bunch of local speed shops and got quotes as high as $600 for install and alignment, and only one less than $500.

The hitch is that Schwab won't install anything they didn't sell, and I already had made arrangements with another speed shop for $350 total install.

If you live in a Les Schwab state -- the Northwest and Rockies -- it might be a good place to check.

'Course, nothing's cheaper than doing it yourself ...

I am waiting for adrenalin to post on ease of installing springs on the '05. It should be fairly easy and you well save a couple hundred bucks.

yup...its not that hard either, it took about 45mins-hour to do the front, and like 20 mins to do the back.

I vote for the hands on approach too. Of course, if I was earning $120/hr, I might decide it is worth paying someone else to do it!
