Brillo, I left my OEM front top mounts for you, should be even easier, took me 5 hrs to install h&r coilivers and 4.5 hrs to install the clubsports, if $65 hourly rate, should be less than $350 for sure, hope that helps

^^thanks.. im excited, will have to look for shops tomorrow. i haven't opened the box yet.. i'll post pics of the items and of the install.. can this be done by one person? i know of someone that works as a tech at a (jap) dealership and might call him tom to see how much he'd charge me.

Any mechanic that takes 4hrs to install coilovers is not a good one. The job should take max 2.5hrs if that. Should cost you no more than $300 with the alignment. Not Trying to be an a$$ but I do these in 1.5hrs, then I ask the client to come in so we can both mess with the setup he/she prefers.

I guess, if you know the right shops. Luckily, my body shop guy is well connected. People kind of freak when I tell them what kinds of rims and suspension I have.
