Remember they need to make money and remain in buisness. You can always buy cheaper from a online store that pays no rent and most likely no taxes, super, PI insurance, etc. but you also take the risk.

Is that right? If so, I'd rather get $600 springs that cost $300 to install, lik esome of the above stated....In regards to springs, I have heard that the nizpro's do go soft, but The Atomic's sound like a good product. Crows are also supposed to be very good.Roscoe - $350 is a much better price than $660 Good luck with it herTURBO. Let us know what happens.Cheers,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even asked a friend to do them for me and he said he wont touch them! Leave it to your tuner then u have a leg to stand on!!! From endless reading 800-900 supplied and fitted is pretty much across the board. Im going to try the crow ones but no retainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
