best place to instal springs/coilovers??
i know i can have andy at southmain auto do it (but they're never that quick).
I need to get my h&r springs & koni adj. coilvers installed when they come in next week.
Would like some advice on who can do this on my 540 and do it well in town.
thanks in advnce!

Yourself? Installing the suspension parts isn't very difficult, no more than a hour or two of work.

It took me and a friend almost 6 hours to do the front and rear springs, front struts, and rear shocks on my Passat. That was with breaks and some picture taking. It is not difficult but can be frustrating. If I did it again, I would pay someone to do it. Cheapest I found for suspension installation was $350. If you have someone who can do it for $200, that is a steal!
BTW, I have H&R springs on my Passat and they are awesome! My only complaint is that the advertised drop was wrong.. it lowered my car about .5 inches more than what it was supposed to.

Wow ... that's a long time, glad I don't have a European car
If you have the money and don't have the time I don't see anything wrong with having someone else do it. Hell, if you were closer and could get me the pages from the FSM for your car and I'd do it.
