My friend gave me a set of Bilstien sport shocks and the eibach prokit springs. I was wondering if any of you fellow 202 members know of any place to get these installed for a good price around Orange County area. I'm from Garden grove. Or if any of you can help me out and i can throw some cash your way that'd be great.

i have an idea, sell them to me instead! :D
edit:
ok, while that wasn't helpful at all, there are a few topics on doing the installation yourself. it's really not as difficult as you might think, but does require two floor jacks (maybe if you have one yourself, and a friend has another).
just do a search for spring install and you'll find the thread in there somewhere.
i've done mine twice, and the first time was a complete nightmare, although it should have been easier.
the second time was cake.
jack it up and support it (not on the suspension).
support the lower control arm with a jack
unbolt the shock
remove nut from tie rod and bang it with a heavy mallet (not the bolt) until it comes out
remove nut from upper ball joint and bang that until it comes out
the lower control arm should now drop (once you relieve support of jack) and you can yank the spring out now.
have fun.
