i just got a quote for eibach pro springs, and KYB ags adjust shocks for my 95 gt drop top. he said with labor it was going to cost me 1300 out the door. am i better off buying the parts andhaving them installed rather than the shop ordering them? they will warrenty their work if the order the part. :TY:

Why dont you install them your self.is not that hard,Plus with the money you are gonna pay for labor you could buy some really nice Jackstands,Ratchets,sockets and maybe a Floorjack if you dont have one.

But, you will be better ordering the parts and then take the car to get them installed.

The only suspension mod i didnt do on my car was the CC plates installation.but other than that i did 13" brakes,03 cobra A-arms,Bump steer kit,springs,struts-shocks.

$100? i could spend that money on some nice custom ramps for our lowered mustangs.

just do it yourself...Suspension mods are so fun to install.

I installed all my suspension myself and it was easy cake.... (the A-Arms were kinda hard and put up a fight)

I am old & it hurts to get down on the ground & roll around so I had it done...cost me $300 bucks at Big O Tires...complete Eibach prokit plus, springs shocks, struts, both swaybars & Steeda CC plates...with alignment and SS brake lines & PowerSlot Rotors...I paid $989 for the Eibach system & I forget the CC plates...maybe $160?

i have a floor jack, stand,good tools. i think i would just have to get the spring compressor.
