I do enough stuff myself... w/ plenty or broken parts in the garage as proof. LOL. But I am getting old, and quite honestly I've always enjoyed driving more then wrenching. If I can reach it and it's fairly simple, hell why not? But I am NOT interested in a lot of the more labor-intensive stuff. The shop I went to (downtown Indianapolis... a shop called Rated X) is pretty decent. I would not let them touch the motor, but suspension they are good. When he said $900 I was like "SHUT THE FRONT DOOR YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!" LOL. It's really not optional... I had the Sprint Extreme RX (3.25 drop) springs on the EG for 2 years so you can imagine the condition of the OEM rubber (or shall I say PAPER).
