well ya i see you point and it is a good one but i didn't have the time to wait for an aftermarket kit to come in and then get it installed. i figured the dealer could get the parts in faster than i could get parts from an aftermarket company. i really didn't plan on haveing to replace springs so i just wanted it fixed as soon as possible. i knew that the price was outragous but i was between a rock and a hard place. i guess that is why they call them stealerships. oh well now i know. thanks for the information guys.
