Hello,

I am looking to pay someone to install my lowering springs (h&r) springs only. I don't want to pay 300$ to a shop. Please PM me and let me know your price and location. Thanks

Wish I saw this sooner, I would've definitely done the install for less than $300. If anyone in the Bay area is ever looking for help with or to have someone install bolt ons or other mods like this PM me. I'm happy to help.
