Fitting costs for Pro-drive springs
Looking at getting some pro-drive springs for my '05 wrx.
Thing is the subaru garage i brought it from want to charge me £350 for fitting.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a different garage or someone who can do this for a bit less. I guess they'll still need to be an official subaru place so's not to invalidate my warrenty.
Or shall i fit it myself!

Can't advise a garage if you don't let us know whereabouts you are!
I've done two 03 STi spring changes and if you are OK with spanners and have some prior knowledge and are aware of a couple of specific requirements, you can certainly DIY. If you decide to, post on here and you'll get plenty of help.

Sorry about that.
I'm in the south around Winchester/Southampton area.
Was thinking about DIY'in it but it looks complicated. What would be the tools and time needed?
The garage recon it'll take em an hour for each spring.

I paid £350 at my local dealer, but that included the spring kit too.
£165.96 Spring Kit
£185.50 Labour - Inc. fitting new shocks and springs and re-align camber and tracking
