    Default okay, i NEED a suspension shop....

    that'll do a good job of an install for not too high of a price. I'm gonna be gettin some springs/sleeves/coilover kit installed. I purchased them today, and im gonna pick em up on monday. I could possibly get them installed within the same day if i can find a shop that'll do the install after 5:30 or 6..

    Where can i get the install done? and about how much SHOULD it cost?
    (i hope this thread isnt against the rules...)

    just goto like a muffler shop to have the cutting done, give them all the specs and make sure they have warranties!

    Why the hell would a strut need to be cut? That's beyond me. I could take a look at it and probably do it though if you are in the atlanta area.

    not the strut that needs to be cut, i think its the bump stops. but, the directions im reading are for a year 2000 and up sunfire....ive got a 1996. Idunno if its different or not, but i dont think i'll hafta cut anything, actually, cuz it didnt specify ''some modification required'' on the NOPI e-cat, like it does for certain other coilover setups. If theres no cutting required, and if i can get my hands on a spring compressor for free, then this job SHOULD be a piece of cake!

    Does anybody know where i can borrow a spring compressor *for free*??

    Go to auto zone, you have to pay a $40 deposit and you get all of it back when you bring it back, all you need is the receipt.
