Dear all,

I was wondering if I could enlist the help of any Sydney-sider who has the experience and the equipment required to install Eibach Pro-Kit springs on my DC5R.

Would $50 suffice for an hour or so of your time? Feel free to leave/PM your details and I will contact you to arrange a time.

Much appreciated :thumbsup:

I think front is the hardest to install compare to rear.. rear is simpler

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, guys.

In general, how much is it to change the springs at a workshop? $150+?

yeps.. almost not worth it to invest on springs if u are going to get workshop to install it for you.!! not much tools required to install this..
a set of ratchet, allan keys and spring clamps..

That's what i thought i'd be paying too, all the workshops are quoting me more than the cost of the springs themselves to install lol... If only we had diy members in brisbane =(
