I don't know jack about installing suspension parts, and neither do many people I know. What's a ballpark estimate to install Struts/shocks and springs to go with them professionally? Just so I won't get ripped off.
thanks,

What kind of struts? Koni's will cost you more to install than say KYB AGX or Tokico D-Specs because those are bolt ons.
As for price, it's hard to say, just try your local shops and see what they charge to do it regularly, and if they dont do it regularly - stay away lol....
sorry I forgot to include, KYB AGX with pro kit

where you located man? im sure theres someone around you that can help. if you are near me, ill help ya out. its pretty easy to do, especially since the ones you have are direct replacements, unlike Koni's.
a shop will prolly charge some obsene ammt of money for a pretty simple job

yeah dude, find someone on the org to help you
i did my install completely by myself and it was the first time i've ever EVER had the suspension apart on ANY car
besides, i learned ALOT! and besides a few minor setbacks.... i did a damn good job if i do say so myself

I used this, plus some email help from Event, to replace the rear shocks and mounts on a 97 Sunfire. Took me a while, but I did it with no problems. Piece of cake. I am no mechanic by far either.

exactly. i was totally new to suspension when i did mine the first time, and its all pretty self explanitory. just got to get over the thought of messing it up if you touch it, like i used to think.
i used to be pertified to touch anything, but after that one time, you learn alot, and what stuff can do and handle
just a suggestion though

all i remember is when i had my accord and was doing my suspension by myself it was a mess haha
but im sure its totally differant
Thats what I was worried about-- touching something and having it fall to pieces then not being able to get it back together.

Trust me, there ain't nothing that duck tape can't fix
hehe i always wanted to say that.
Like everyone says, it would probably be best to find someone to help you on the org or locally that might know what they are doing. The reason being is that if you are ever to have problems with your aftermarket suspension, from installing it, you may have a better knowledge of whats wrong.
