i got them in a group buy for $200 shipped. the rears are ridiculously easy to put in. 15 minutes tops. the fronts you will need a spring compressor and should take about an hour to an hour and a half at most

For a slammed look and a horrible ride get the TenzoR's, I have them and they are way too soft. I got them for $50 from a friend but they retail for $150

do them yourself. it will cost about 200 to get them put on i think.
i did it myself, and it was SO easy, and i had never done it before.
as said before the rear is cake
the front, you need a spring compressor, and some air tools, and it will take about an hour for the front.
very easy. you can rent a spring compressor for $50 and you get it all back when ou return it.
