Default eibach sportlines, C/C plates

the other day i picked up a set of eibach sportline springs for next to nothing. I ran into a guy that had them on his 01 GT before he sold it. The springs came along with UPR C/C plates and pinion snubber. The only thing is i want to install them myself, but i'm not sure how tough it will be. I'm not a total gearhead, but i know a good deal about cars. I got a quote for an install and alignment from my mechanic, and he quoted me $365 which to me sounds pretty damn steep for a few hours of just labor. What should i expect to pay for such an install, or is $365 about right? How hard would it be for me to just do the work myself and take it in for the alignment?

my shop quoted me at 300 bucks , so your not too far off, just a fair warning those sportlines are going to be LOWWWW, be prepared to watch out for driveways, speedbumps, RR tracks etc. I have regular H&R sports (equivilant to regular ebiach springs) and it lowers the car BIG TIME, maybe even a little too much for me. SO your car will be even lower than mine, on the upside, it looks good

i was really skeptical about getting the sportline kit but i couldn't pass up the deal that guy gave me for the whole kit. I measured my clearance and i think i'll be ok with the stock front fascia clearing my medium sized driveway curb. Also i dont have LT's and i dont plan on ever doing them, so i dont think ill have a problem bottoming out on driveways or curbs. Does anyone have some really good pictures of the Eibach Sportline kit on their stang?? i just wanna get a good idea of what my car is gonna look like

dude the sportlines are badass.. anyhow clearance is okay with l/ts as well. ive talked to a few people with sportlines. if u want a stiffer spring go with the supersports.
