You can do it. It's not that difficult - you just need a quality spring compressor and you're set. A friend that's done it before doesn't hurt either... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I also think 200 is a little steep for just the fronts, I think I might call FLP to see what they would do it for....or I could always get a friend to do it as a side job... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I need suspension mods RACING

Good deal thanks guys..well I did also call Dan @FLP and he said he would do them for $150.00 which is a little better.

I was planning on doing them myself but my Uncle who would be helping me only comes over for a little bit every weekend so the project justs drags on.

I also heard that it is a big PITA getting the front shocks/springs out of the car. I wish I did have someone that has already done some to help me out that would be sweeeeeet...

Thanks again for the replys..really do appreciate it

Now I would suggest calling Izzo and telling him that FLP offered to do it for $150 and Izzo will match it... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I told you my buddy, the manager at Fair Muffler, would do it under a $100.... he`s very good. Just gotta go there when the bos is not around and he`ll hook you up.

If FLP offered to do it for $150 why try to have Tom match it, they do excellent work over there and they are much closer to you....
