I was told no camber kit is needed... because its not much of a drop... coming from the RRM ppl. And that you don't need a spring compressor. Yeah i got progress springs too..

Progress won't need the compressor or the camber plate. The tein springs with a 1.7" drop might give you pause to look at adjusting your camber.
Also, Les Schwab WILL NOT install springs unless you buy through them. Something about being able to guarantee the product. I called three weeks ago: Eibach pro kit: $299. Install: $25 per corner. Alignment: $70. Ouch!
The tutuorial that RRM put up on the main page is bad ***. You shouldn't have too much trouble. Go slow, give yourself time, take breaks if needed.
Sears will align for $60. A front end place near me will align for "$29.95 most cars" so I'm sure it's closer to $50.

Let us know how you like them.

For those of you with aftermarket springs: Which do you have and how would you rate the ride quality, cornering, drop asthetic (how much better do they make your car look)... etc.
I'm gonna buy suspension components after Xmas and I'm torn between progress and eibach. Progress for the price, and eibach for the name/history, difference in drop rates.

Oh thats cool then I had to do the camber and everything when I got mine lowered. So thats good news you dont have to do all that stuff! Cheaper too! And I agree you have to buy your stuff at les schwab for them to do it.
