What do you pay to install new springs only. I talked to a workshop that said 1-1.5 hrs pr. corner including alignment.

That seems a little high. I'd expect a shop to to charge at the most, $200 to do springs. Even then, with the correct equipment, it should only take about 2 hours total.

I just received my Sportline springs today. I found a place to install but they are highly recommending that I get a camber kit first. From what I hear they're fairly cheap and will save me a lot of trouble down the road. I'm clueless about camber kits. Can someone explain what exactly I need? Or better yet, could someone just post a link to a camber kit that would work well with the Sportline springs?

Thank you!!

I installed Sportlines today. I got 18x8 et45 front, 18x9 et42 installed on Tuesday. IT looks mean. I'll post pictures tomorrow after it has settled a bit.

I actually bought SPC front camber bolts and rear LCA's, but I may not actually need them.

Sorry, but I wasn't able to get any pics today. I'm driving down to Daytona tomorrow, so I might not remember.

If you must have a bigger drop, the Eibachs are a good choice.

Nice to see a company supporting other companies options even when they technically are competitors. I haven't personally used RCE springs myself but I know on the nasioc forums they are highly regarded as one of the best out there. Cheers.
