I got my Sportlines from TireRack.com. Big well known place, great to do busniess with, springs came within like two days I believe.

I installed the springs myself, along with the help of a few friends in my own driveway.

I'd say the Dealer or any Local Reputable Tuner shop.

I cannot believe people are actually recommending for someone who's already said they're not that mechanically inclined to do a suspension install.

I'm assuming you're installing springs? If it's just a strut bar or a sway bar, then hells yeah, have at it yourself, there's not much you can screw up. If you're installing anything involving springs or anything requiring the use of a spring compressor - TAKE IT TO A PROFESSIONAL SHOP. That is one car-related thing you do not **** around with.

As for finding a shop, ask some locals, most tuning shops will do a suspension.

you can do plenty of damage installing strut bar... too many people on here have broken off the bolts when tightening it down ;-)

This is true, but being aware of torque spec usually reduces or eliminates that problem.

I re-read and he said sportlines - professional install only. Spring compressors are not for the inexperienced.
