Do any of you Austin folks know a good shop where I can purchase H&R springs and get them installed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know the SVT is a bad A$$ car, but you don't have to follow me home just to tell me.

If you are changing springs, you should change struts also.... stock struts seem to be lasting approx 20k after lowered. There is a group buy Corey put on for Koni adjustable struts - open only to mid Jan.

Hey, find some on the internet. You'll usually get a much better price. Then, look around town for install prices.And if you want, I'll do it for a much better price smile Just let me know if that intrests you. I have experience with doing my own and have access to a shop to use the spring compressor.-Kyle

Kyle, Thanks. I'll keep you in mind when I decide to do this. By the way, I noticed on your sig you had eibachs, do you prefer them over the H&R's? -- J.D.

I really like the ride quality of the Eibachs and I am really happy with the amount of drop. After it settled it's about 1"1/2-1"3/4. Perfect for the Austin roads and just barely fits over speed bumps. I don't have any experience with the the H & R's, so can't really compare them.-Kyle
