i know when i looked into labor for springs alone it was like 4 1.2 to 5 hours, f that, just rent the spring compressor and do it yourself, its not that bad

Really? I know I could knock out all that crap on my back over a weekend, but I figured if the hours weren't that bad, I would just shell out for it. I get labor for $50 an hour from amechanic whose owned multiple mustangs, and would be installing my supercharger when I get it.

do it yourself. took me about 7 jours total for all springs, and upper and lowers. Shock take five seconds to change since you have to unbolt the front ones anyway

Ya, I know exactly what your saying, but I was trying to get an estimate at what the hours would be. I know the best way would probably be wait till tomorrow and call the guy lol, but I started thinking about where I should spend my money. I'll probably end up on my back lol..
