But does anyone know how much it is to rent a spring compressor and/or a impact wrench from Auto Zone or anywhere? I know I can call tomorrow, but just wondering if anyone could help now.

Also, how much you pay for your installation?

 

to rent the stuff its next to nothing i believe, really wont be anything oyu need to worry about.

 

Sweet, so youre guessing it is cheaper to than having them installed?

I know they have the spring compressor... just hoping they have a impact wrench...

 

much cheaper, it practically will cost you nothing to do them yourself.

 

Sooo.. anyone here work at autozone?

 

i just rented one like two weeks ago and it was 43$ and its just a deposit they give it back when you return it.a friend and did the install in about 2 hours.he has done it before but its really not to bad.

 

I've done 3 spring installs on the Lancer now (Progress, Eibach and Tein SS) and none of them required a spring compressor. Ironically, my dad needed one for the Mustang so I have access to one now. But you will want an impact wrench, and a cordless electric one was good enough for me. You can rent that for about $20-25 from Home Depot.

As for install prices, I heard quotes around here ranging from $150 to $300 (just for labor)

 

I got mine done for just over 200
