I want to install my GF210's

This question is for my Florida people. Anybody know of a good installer that can install my springs for a fair price. Preferably in
the south florida area. Thanks!

You could pay for the tools with what you save by not paying a mechanic. I don't know about Florida, but around this area of CA, labor rates are about $100. per hour min., and that's for any part of an hour. When you do a job yourself, you learn new skills, save money, add to the tools that you may need in the future,and don't pay for someone else's mistakes. You will make mistakes, but just repeat the job until you get it right. You also learn patience, because you can't drive until you get it right

Worst case, if you REALLY f**k up, use your AAA card to tow the car to a mechanic, and THEN take the 50/50 gamble that HE knows what he's doing.

Hmmmm you guys make a good point. I'll look up the DIY thread and see what is exactly involved in dropping a fit. Which would be the best thread?
