Do them yourself. You can then take the time to clean up the brakes and paint the calipers at the same time. I spent a weekend basically doing it myself. If you have good instructions and the right tools, you can do everything in a day. I had found a very good website with detailed instructions, including valuable photos, but sorry, I can't find it now. Do some searching. As mentioned in the mustangforums how-to, you probably will want to have the spring compressors. I also had to hacksaw them shorter to make them work.

It's a great do-it-yourself project. Take your time and be safe.

This is how I done it. It took me about 6 hours and it is much, much better.
Cheers

I think I will take you up on that dilo when the time comes. I got the springs sitting here but I will probably wait till I get some other parts first.

Maybe I am a bit confused but I thought his question was just about installing springs. It seems like a lot of you guys are saying to ay to have it done. I think this is a very easy suspension mod myself. Really, you dont even need a spring compressor to do the job if you are careful. The first time you do it, it will take at least 8 hours. The second time you do it (if you ever have to do it again) it will take you about 3-4 hours. Seriously, I would never pay someone to do springs, and it will be a good learning experience for you. Definantly helps to have someone else there to help out.
