Default Where to get it done?

I live in the Worcester County Are and i and am getting my suspension done hopefully next week and i want to know where to go? I have 4 new springs that need installation. I do not know what a good price would be for the labor and alignments needed.

Recommend any garages????

=D

^^^Agreed, rent some spring compressors and knock it out yourself and learn a little something about your car along the way.

it lists pretty much everything you need on the guide on audidiy. skip the step that says to undo the front upper control arms. there's no need to do that and it apparently causes very very annoying problems.. good choice deciding to do it yourself, it's really easy just takes a lot of time
