this is a very simple do it at home job and should not take more then a couple hours...

i would imagine a shop would charge around 200-300 to install these?

yeah, I hope to god you would be smart enough to youtube the subject first.

Main Tools Needed
spring compressors
jack/jackstands
2 adjustable wrenches

you will need other bits/wrenches but I cant say cuz I've never done an SRT-4 b4, but for a G35 you need a deep socket 12mm bit and a 10mm offset box wrench. Thats about it...

oh and maybe a breaker bar for convenience...

If you can't find someone personally to do them for you, I'd recommend OK4WD in Washington. Not positive if it's in Washington but they do a good job there. Kind of pricey but you get what you pay for, plus you can get your alignment done as well.

im near deptford mall n can do em for 200. should be a 4 hour job since you need the springs removed from the struts. I also have left over dust boots, pillow mounts, and top hat nuts from my stock suspension so if yours look bad ill throw those on for you.

i own an SRT 4 and have done many of these before.

I would also "strongly" suggest getting these
http://www.modernperformance.com/pro...00-05_Neon/451

ill throw them on while im in there, theyll position your rear sway bar in the correct position, because if you dont do this the stock ones push it about a half of a foot upwards.

and @Trickstyle these are tricky, especially in the front. The spindle wants to come upwards when you remove the strut which if you are not careful, or expecting it, youll blow out the axle boot.
