Anyone in NE Ohio willing to install springs?

I just purchased a set of Tenzo R lowering springs for my 08 ls coupe, I need someone to install them. I can pay you but i'm looking so save some money compared to going to an auto garage and paying close to $350. please let me know if anyone has done this and has the tools so we can do this. Thanks

bump guys, i could use some help with the install. if anyone has spring compressors let me know

You can actually rent spring compressors from Autozone and probably any parts store.

i didn't know they were rentable, i got the compressors today and they work great, now i have to wait until i'm off work at 9 to unstall the front ssprings, the rear springs claimed 2.5" drop but i didn't see nearly that much drop. i'm measuring the front drop before and after. i'll get pics tomorrow because tonight will be too dark once i'm done.

wait a week or so til they settle and try to park your car on an even surface as much as possible so the springs dont settle uneven.. ha

well i got mine instaled and i have all the propper tools so if anyone want their car dropped and they buy springs, instead of paying $85 per wheel to drop it at a body sho, i'll do it for a fraction of the cost. let me know if anyone near Cleveland is buying springs and needs them installed. my instal was flawless.
