Question Spring Install??????

Is it worth it to try and install a set of lowering springs myself, or should I just have someone else do it? Also does anyone know of a shop that has done wrx's before, and if so how much do they charge?

I did mine by myself. (God bless the air compressor)

3 hours total, including trimming the bumpstops...

no problems at all (used the spring compressors from Autozone.)

I ve lowered 7-8 cars, acuras, hondas, fords, saturns all without air tools and it sometimes takes 4hrs. for $20 bucks you can buy spring compressors at Harbor Frieghts also use socket attachments on power drills. If you have the money save the hassel and get it done.
