Quick Question
#2
Panhard rod is ridiculously easy to do. Rear springs are cake too, the front springs are where your going to have to work a little. Not sure what to suggest as how much to expect to pay though. I couldn't imagine it being over a couple hundred total in labor to do...

I, with hand tools, in my garage can do the whole car, shocks, springs, LCA's and PHB in about 5 hrs (give or take). A lift and air tools will speed this up. Figure shop rates of about $50 an hour (roughly, maybe more) and they should be quicker than I am (with a lift and air tools, they better be). So, 5 hrs at $50 is $250. I'd pay no more than that for the work. Or, bring it up to Ohio, I'll set you up....

hey i work at a spring shop and i can do the panhard bar and the rear springs in 40 minutes, and the fronts in about an hour and check alignment in about 45 min. i specialize in heavy duty diesel suspension *concrete trucks - dumps - trash trucks* but we do regular suspension too. at my shop it is 65 hr so i can have it done without checking alignment in about two hours, they will prolly charge you for four to five hours book rate. so you are looking at about 225-300....... which isnt bad.
but i am just guessing cuz that is our shops generic labor rate, they might have a certain price for removing the rear coils and replacing, and the front strut assemblies also. i dont deal with price i just do the work and collect the commission, but i wouldnt pay no more than 300 if you have the parts.

Check out www.installuniversity.com and read the write up. The first time you do the swap, it is very time consuming (like 7 hours maybe). It is incredibly easy though once you know what you're doing. There's nothing advanced about this. Save yourself some money for other mods; call up a buddy and do it on the weekend.
