A friend and I installed some Intraxx springs on my car a few months ago...if you have any plans of doing this this type of mod do it now. You can assemble the strut/spring assembly before installing it in the car, making it a much easier task...just a suggestion. The rears will be cake. Good luck!!

autozone charges 20 bucks to compress the springs, all you gotta do is take em off and put the on again for the front, the rear are easy. If you can do it in the weekend, I can help.

I know a guy that did my mom's a while back. He has been a mechanic since before he graduated HS, he's now in his mid 30's so he's done quite a few. Universal City is about 15 minutes away from where I live. If you'd like, I can give you a call. His rates are GREAT. I think he charged my mom like $70 for all 4. Unlike SEARS, who wanted $500!! WTF?

If you feel like road triping to Houston I will swap them out for ya. It pretty easy just need some spring compressors, yiou can rent them from AZ. Or like they said above just take them to a and let them do it. Muffler shop down here charged my buddy $20 to replace the springs on the strut.

thanks for the help everyone.
Trans AM 22502 I emailed you about trying to get a hold of the mechanic you know.
Anybody know anyone who might want this as a sidejob.
