Take Mats offer.
If you're going to mod your car learn how to do stuff for your self. May take the best part of a day but you can tell your mates you did it yourself

i suggest u get the struts as well, because to replace just springs you have to take struts out take springs out put springs in, and ul have soft shokies, then u wanna change the struts u have to take struts out take springs off put springs on new shocks, put struts back in... if u get new shoks straight away u jsut assemble it and its a 5 bolt per wheel straight easy swap

OR you can do it your self go get a PAIR of spring compressors from autobarn or super cheap and do it its not that hard. just take it out, screw it down wit hcompressor untill the top plate is loose, take of the top bolt, SLOWLY uncompress,and carefully, and then put new one in, changing the springs over is the shortest part of it.. make sure after u go get a wheel alignment

Hmm i thought compressors where substantially more.
The main problem i have with doing it myself is the lack of marking on the springs to indicate front rear, left right. (My dads car has longer springs on the left then the right) |

if they're like the RS*R ones i got they're the same left/right.
spring compressor's are cheap, DIY makes it cheaper. i'm willing to lend a hand provided i have the day free
