Sportline Installation?

When everyone got their Sportlines installed, did they do it themselves or did you do it at a shop?

If you did them yourselves, does anyone have a how-to on this? Is it very hard to do since I dont have a lot of jacks to lift the whole car off the ground at any given time, plus I'm 16

If you had them done professionally done, how much do you think it should cost with an alignment?

Either way, i'm getting an alignment, i was just trying to figure out how much it would be to get done professionally or just done by myself.

Thanks guys

Shop.

You will need an impact gun and a lift as well as a spring tensioner. It isn't really a driveway job. Takes about an hour to hour and a half by a competent mechanic. So whatever $$$ per hour plus taxes.

Wait a bit for the alignment. Let the springs settle.

I had a friend help me install mine..but we used air tools and the lift at his shop. I would let a shop do it. its a whole lot easier with a lift. we put springs on the mazda 6 i had in my garage and it took like 2-3 hours
