50-70 a corner is average at most places

but you never know you might be able to find it cheaper

heat it a bit with a torch. that usually loosens it up a bit, or let it soak in some PB Blaster

Do you need a spring compressor to change the springs? I'm thinking about buying the Tenzo R springs also. Let me know how you like them and post some pics if you can.

You definitely need a strut compressor for the front struts.

you wont need the spring compressor for the rears but as said you do on the fronts just make sure you buy a quality set. you dont want to mess with a compressed auo spring launching when it destroys the compressors holding them

I dont think you ever want to use a torque wrench to remove bolts. maybe should have tried a breaker bar. Also AIR TOOLS over hand tools. But if you want to meet up with me, we might be able to work something out. i put tenzos on my car not to long ago
