    Sadly I don't, but I know supercheap auto has them for $80. BTW with the new springs do I need to change anything? e.g the shocks

    spring compressors are on ebay for 25 bucks

    you dont 'need' to change shocks yet but they eventually wear out with lowered springs,it will handle nicer with a sport shock like koni bilstein etc.

    If if you are asking these type of questions I strongly recommend taking your car to a mechanic to do the job.

    There is ONE major issue with the front suspension that you MUST keep an eye on , for it will pop and really **** up your whole day. Just a hint - it involves removing your driveshafts and re doing your inner pot joints

    I got quoted $300 to change the springs which costs more than the springs. Got lowering king springs for $100

    Thats great.

    The issue i speak speak of would cost maybe $500+ towing or mobile mechanic call out fee. Plus all the wasted time.

    Pay a mech to do it , and avoid mega issues.

    Long history
    I have had my inner joint pop out.. only takes a few mins max or movement and wiggling get it to pop back in

    i find installing the rears harder on the DC5 cause they need compression


    but as ben said, if you don't know what you are doing, then you don't know what you are doing.
