I paid basically $100 or so to get my Eibach's installed on my first WRX. I'll be doing it myself this go-round, to save money.

its going to run you ALOT!!! i checked at the shop i was working at and it came to about $650... i dont remember exactly how many hours it called for, but 6 comes to mind... the best thing i would do is if your mecanically inclined, nd u have the time, rent a spring compresser from autozone and do it yourself... just make sure to get an alignment ASAP!!

One shop said 250 then subaru said 550. Im waiting for them to hit the 800 mark!! ANY TAKERS???

just make sure to get an alignment ASAP!!

Everyone says that, but my Eibachs worked out fine for 30,000 miles without an alignment. Still a good idea, though.

im not talking about miles, im talking about the DUH-LARS (you know the CHING CHING). ITs just crazy to pay that much for a spring intall. Maybe i should get out of computers and into working on Subarus??

I paid $140 for spring install plus another $60 for an alignment afterwards. If you change springs you need to get an alignment. My toe was off prety far afterwards.

Find a good tuner shop in your area for the install. Places like goodyear or firestone will rip you off. Maybe post in your local regional forums if your having a hard time finding a good shop.

you can probably do it yourself if you have some tool skills. Ask on your local suby board for some help/offer to buy pizza/beer

I've read through a pretty good tutorial on it, and it doesn't seem that hard. I'm going to use AutoZone's "Loan-A-Tool" program to get a spring compressor.

That's the best advice to give......unless you go to Harbor Freight and pick one up for $20. The AutoZone option is nice because you get your money back when you return the compressor.

The install is pretty easy, just be sure to get some PB Blaster and a breaker bar (the 19mm nut can be a pain in the ass). Also, you may want to pick up a set of O-sockets (or "thru-sockets" as sometimes called) and some nice hex wrenches...this will make the loosening and tightening of the top strut nut MUCH easier.
