Do it yourself. Go to autozone and get some spring compressors.

Do it yourself. Follow the TacoBill write-up. It's extremely simple on these cars.

Figure 3 hourstimes your local shop rate + alignment

Can be done at home in 3 hrs so the pro`s have to be faster, anything over 3 is a bit of a gouge. JMO

My front springs/struts took me about 1/2 hour each. The rear springs were about 1 hour total. The rear shocks were about 2 hours. I actually found the fronts the easiest!

I didnt see the How To thread until too late..

I went and had mine done for $180.

Maybe Taco will come out with a D-Spec install guide so I can do my own..?
