i was wondering about the price of installation on coilovers.i didnt want to over pay, and the mechanics around my area arent real familiar with thyem anyways. a friend of mine got his put in for 170. but that was just the front two. this sounded rediculous to me. but i dont know... thanks

I had a local shop install mine for me because I tried with a friend but didn't want to grind down the struts myself. They installed all four for $125.

taking off the struts on a 6gc is too easy...it took me 15mins a strut...do it yourself.

dont mean to sound stupid but you have to grind your strut to install your coilovers ?

yeah theres this metal ring that keeps you from sliding the sleave down. So you have to grind part of that down so that you can get the sleave all the way down.

I've done three sets of coilovers, and it isn't that hard. one of my friends took his to Minekie and they did it for like $80.
