i just hope it's not all 4 of them blown, coz' you will need to pay installation twice (take it out, put stock on. take stock out, put the rebuilt ones on). say installation is 150, and all 4 blown, you are looking at 150x4 + 150x2 = 900 and a new set you can have it for about 1300?

one "better" solution would be to have the car on stands at home, and you take off the whole coilover set yourself (you don't need spring compressor), but still it's not something trivial

ouch. that really sucks. ROMINL's idea is good. Just be forewarned, playing with your coilovers is fun as it is with a lift, doing it at home w/out a lift will be unimaginably fun.

DAMN, nothing is going right for my car right now. Just looked at my rear bumper, and someone ran their car through, so now it has a bunch of scrapes.

I just e-mail Tein, I'm going to see how much the repair is. Most likely, I will probably get it fixed in the summer. I'll just drive my car until then.

When I'm ready, I will put the stock one back on, and just let it sit in my garage until it's done. While it's in the garage, hopefully I can get all the things on my car fixed, and maybe some modding.

My plans:

1. Replace Tein CS coilover
2. Woodgrain steering wheel
3. Re-paint from and rear bumper and add tte lip
4. Black Housing Headlights
5. New Rear Tires
