Install myself or pay someone?

Should I install my kyb agx shocks myself or pay someone to do it? i installed my eibach springs but i don't know if i want to go through all that trouble. i have access to a lift and pneumatic tools but it costs money to use the lift. has anyone paid someone to install their shocks? how much did it cost?

if you did your springs on your own, i'm sure you won't have too much of a problem installing your shocks..look to spend anywhere from 150 to 250 if you're on the east coast...on the westcoast..i believe you can get it done for a LOT cheaper..like around 60 bucks or so..checkmate58 can verify that one.

I did my coil-overs myself in about 7 hours working with just two ****ty car jacks - one from a prelude, another from an accord. It was easy to do and not a problem if you don't want to spend money on a lift. Shocks are no different.

Do it yourself if you can, but I have to ask... Why didn't you just do it at the same time as your springs?
