Abboushi, I had a shop quote me $137 per side to replace my struts/shocks, after that quote I didn't even bother asking about the springs, I'll just do it myself with a buddy.

I believe that in order to change the shocks you have to takes the springs off. So if it costs $137 per side, it shouldn't cost any more to add a different set of springs.

have you ever worked on any suspension before... if so this install is really not hard at all. I know when I did it, it didnt feel like I was doing $400-500 worth of labor!!! - you should see if there are any CL members in your area that have done it and see if you can get them to work for beer! 
I know I would if I were near by. All you need is a spring compressor , torque wrench, and a nice wrench / socket set... air tools are nice but not a necessity. I meant to do a whole write up with pics, but got tierd of taking pics after about the first couple minutes .
