Thanks guys. I'll reach out to autospeed for sure... they are nice and close.

AWE quoted me >$800 for H&R sport springs with installation & alignment. yikes

May just buy / install the springs myself. Will need to decide between APR or GIAC for a simple stage 1 tune. Where did you guys go for tuning?

AWE was kinda steep with the quote for me too. Ended up doing the install myself and learning a bit in the process.

Besides a spring compressor, it seems there are a few uncommon tools that are needed for the install (M14 socket and a spindle spreader). Good "how-to" write up with required tool info in the below thread. I'm plan to start gathering the tools and install in the spring. The ECS Stage 2 suspension install kit includes new strut bushings, new bolts as well as the M14 socket and spindle spreader for ~$85.

I already had a spring compressor laying around. The only thing I really had to find was the M14 bit. If you follow the DIY you are golden. That was a great write up.

As long as you have the right tools, it's not too hard. Just make sure you don't strip/break anything. If anyone feels unsure about it, give me a shout. I've done a ton of installs, springs/coils/exhausts/clutches you name it.
