I go to suspension city in north melbourne - look up yellow pages.

been there twice, both times $120 , taking 1 to 1.5 hours.

edit: yes u should get wheel alignment after. a spring install can mess up your toe cos you're taking stuff in and out with force. but drive without one for a whle and if it drives straight , then maybe u dont need one :)

Hey euro1603, where did you get your pro kit from and how much did you pay for it?

they dont do wheel alignemnt. $120 is for the install only. pretty good price.

Alignment, u need to go to a tyre shop - typically $55 to $65 ish dollars.

On another note, I HIGHLY Recommend you remove your rear side cushion bolsters first, by YOURSELF. That way, you wont risk getting them damaged or dirtied. The bolsters are held on by 10mm bolts at the base of the bolster. One per side. After taking the bolt out, just push the bolster upwards and it should come out, exposing the strut top nuts - ready for the workshop to work on.

Good luck :thumbsup:
