I got quoted 225, but I'll prolly just buy an impact gun and torque wrench and do it myself. There's an install video from rrm a few how to's on here. Plus you can use those tools over and over. Looks pretty straight foward.

My guess is that the tools will probably cost about what the initial install would cost, but you're right: You'll need most of them for other future mods.

you can get a spring compressor from autozone probably, theres a video of RRM showing how to install springs on the lancer, rent thet ools, follow the videos (they are like 10 min long) and you should be ok.

I would NEVER pay 200-300 to install springs heck thats as much as the springs themselves. I would say $100 tops or id just do it with my friends, which I plan to do when i get some tanabe springs.

Way too easy to even dish out $50 for someone else to do it.

Not bad, for 100 i would consider just having someone else do it and not worry about it. although it would still be nice to know how to do it.

let me know how the install goes for future reference.
