What is the average price from a shop to install some drop springs on a 98gt...

 

$250-$300 or $50 for the tools you need to do it yourself. Its very easy

 

The shop that installed mine, charged me $50 an hour. Of course it was a friend of mines shop so he cut me a deal. We had it done rather quickly and it was cheap for me. I will agree that if you have the tools and the patience, you can do it but it makes it easier if you have some help.

 

I didn't even use tools to put mine in. Just popped them out, popped them in. But if you try it take caution. The rears are easy, just unbolt lower control arm with jack under it, lower jack, replace the spring, jack back up, put in bolt. Front's are a little more tricky but not impossible. Just have to unbolt strut(have to anyway), unbolt front sway bar, keep in mind that a jack should be under this while unbolting stuff, pry spring out with bar, pop spring back in with bar, repeat steps in reverse. But like OXFORDGT said, 250+ and I've been quoted up to $500 for a spring swap. Need I say what I told them?

 

The rear you just unbolt the shocks not the control arms. Control arms can be a bitch to get back up sometimes. THe front just remove the caliper and unbolt the swaay bar and strut and the spring will fall out. I did my wifes sportlines in under an hour by myself.

Needstangspeed how did you not use tools?

 

Geez... i got quoted 250$ today and I found that a little high... i might just do them myself...

 

Thought you were referring to buying tools such as a spring compressor. Of course I had to use tools to take everything apart.

 

my tuning shop quoted 180 for springs
we did it ourselves its really easy just time consuming, My car took us 6 hours with floor jacks taking our time figurig things out, on my buddies cobra we just did it took us 3 hours
those times included c/c plate install which took a while to figure out one the first car

 

The sucky part is that I don't have a garageto work in. So if I do them myself I'd have to do them on the street...

 

Just go to a buddy's house. That's what I do, since I live in a condo.
