Just ordered hotchkis springs from bottle (titanmotorsports for the uninformed). I have 2 questions though.

1) should I wait to get new shocks before I get them installed?

2) how much does the install usually cost?

Nice, just wait til you have your shocks like that you dont have to pay twice for installing one then the other. thumbsup

Yes, wait. Around $150. Those Hotchkis springs are harsh so I've heard. Be prepared.

It's all good, I'm more concerned about ride performance than I am about ride comfort.

so $150 would be just for springs. Or, since I'm waiting would that price include shock installation?
