I can install them at my shop for like 50 bucks.

crap I forgot we're going snowboarding this weekend...Try NTB or someplace like that and see what their pricing is if you want them done soon. They can do an alignment too which your going to need. I can't do alignments we don't have the equipment.

Alignments are usually b/w 50 and 85 bucks...plus whatever they would charge you to install the springs if you have them do it.

Top rate is $19/hr, BlueCrossBlueShield, Vision, Dental, NON-UNION so no fee's or anything ^^. All we do is load trucks all night with alcohol for 10hrs. We usually get done about 7hrs into tha night and play Uno/work out on weights/sleep/etc til clock-out time. It's Mon-Thur 7:30pm-5:30am. Off Rt.9 in Wilmingon, Lambson Lane. Lemme know~

^Anytime you do anything to your suspension its recommended that you get an alignment. It may not be to the point where you drive crooked, but you could get uneven tire wear and well wouldn't you feel like an ass if your tire blew out one day ...but then again you lowered on stock struts---not the brightest idea either ...haha just messin with ya ort!, but yeah alignments are recommened

with the sportlines, yes you will need an alignment. a way to make it alot easier for the alignment is to "oval" out the bolt holes on the stock struts in the front, trust me. when i got my old LS aligned with sportlines i did this. all the tech needed to do was loosen the bolts and the car seriously "feel" into place. it worked out perfectly. you dont have to go crazy on it but make it an "egg" shaped hole going left to right.

We don't have the alignment equipment, but there are places near by that are open saturdays I think. If you can't get an alignment right away its not gonna kill your tires, I would just suggest getting it done w/ in the next couple weeks. There's a chevy dealership around the corner from my shop but they might rape you in price lol...they wanted 250+ for a spring install on a cav! idiots...

how am I trying to get money when I can't even do the alignment? It's a safety precaution. I do this crap for a living I think I would know. It's your choice whether to do it or not all we can do is suggest it.

lol i was just kidding man i actually waited a few for everything to kinda settle but it was fine do i didn't worry about it. some cars then its different.

Lol and Matt, you would be faster if your car could go above 4500 rpm lol. All i know is that if i got a ss/tc you know the first thing iw ould do is a swap right?? lol those cars are going to see all types of different turbos with they come out!
