1. search

2. read the faq for best info about heights and handling

3. Springs are very easy to install, you just need some tools like spring compresor, torque wrench, hydraulic jack, and more......... But since you are asking this Q, If I were you, I will let a profetional install them.


also If you decide not to install them yourself, any speedshop will charge around $100-140to install them.
good luck


I need a new sig =(

I'd go with the eiback prokit and agx adjustable struts ... here is an installation guide that should give you an idea if you're up to installing it yourself: http://www.j-body.org/forums/read.php?f=3&i=77664&t=77664

installing springs is real easy. if you plan on getting springs please get struts to go w/ it. read the faq in the suspension forum, it gives you a ton of info on springs, coils, struts and where to buy them

if i install coilovers and only lower it about 1.5 to 1.8 would it be ok to use stock struts

You'll still end up blowing your struts if you do.....

hey, am I understanding this correctly, if I am putting new springs and struts on and they already come assembled then I wont need a spring compressor because I wont be taking any springs off of the struts right?

is it a full replacement, including mounts? if so then no you wont need a compressor. if its just a spring and struts setup that doesnt come w/ the mounts then yes you will need a compressor so you can reuse the stock mounts

Best Advice: Buy quality parts, if you can't install it yourself give it to a professional.
