How much are you paying somebody to do that for you? It really is an extremely easy job. You should do it your self. All you need to do is rent a strut compressor and a few hours and you can do it. Just my .02. The mx-3 is so much sexier when lowered.

I wish I could get all that stuff right now, but I'm moving up to the Fort and expenses are high. Take some measurements of the front and rear before and after as I was considering to go with the same parts.

o Ya man dont pay someone to do it do it your self. It was so easy to get my suspention in. Just have a good set of sockets and renchs and just rent a spring compresore. get a buddy and get all 4 wheels of the ground. If you have everything for the new suspention put the new suspention together. Dust boot goes over shaft them the rubber rings that go ont he botton of there the spring sits. Put the spring on. I know the front suspention has that top that goes over the spring before the mount the rears dont ahve any of that just sits on the mount its self. Looks like you might need those tops for the front strut and the rubber rings the spring sits on. (i just used my stuff suspention stuff for that) Take the old suspention off put the new stuff to gether and then put the new ones on the car. You got all you mounts so you dont need to worry about taking the old ones off.

Don't buy spring comressors. You won't use them very often.
Make sure to take the strut bearing off the OEM struts or get new ones. They are acutally called thrust bearings. If you don't your springs will click every time you turn the wheel.

Oh. Good. I'm kinda glad I didn't wait out the backorder then. My H&R's lowered my front so you can't even see the springs from the side shot. I guess the back lowering is about on par, though.
