$678 minus $89 = $589 for installing spring....
...
...
A mechanic have all the necessary equipment in the shop and should take no more than 2 hours to finish the installation...
Either the mechanic is a dumba$$
thus cost him 5+ hours to install a set of spring or he thinks you are... but obviously Ms.Pint is NOT...

Put it up on 4 jackstands, took off the bumper, the undertray, all 4 wheels. Rebuilt the piston seal / dust boot stuff in the rear calipers, replaced the rear rotors, put some new heat shield thingies behind the front pads, flushed some new brake fluid through the whole system, cleaned and re-oiled the K&N air filters, replaced PCV valves, cleaned MAFs, reset ECU, reset idle air volume, changed oil and filter.
Last weekend was the front caliper rebuild and rotors, new front bearings, new tie rod ends.
Needs a visit to an alignment shop next week :P

thanks, i do hope i can figure this winter dd nonsense out soon as it is draining me (well, not really. )
i test drove the MS3 today (2nd time) and compared to the first test drive 3yrs ago, it felt so frikken... wierd(?). it's like a euro car-ish but it's not. it's like a sports car but it's definitely too FWD and imho it felt slow...might have something to do with the 92F humid weather today . it's like a puddling/spike-rocket but it twists my arm a lot when it spikes.. i HATE torque steer. it's like it's telling me im now too old for this shitt? like i out grown it. it was not a very friendly test drive. the sales guy was very polite though. he kept asking about my 370Z than asking wat i thought about the MS3.
he asked only once if i really felt like buying the car today. i said 'sorry, no, it's not how i remembered this car and as of today i dont want it...'
unless im going to go cheap with the 2012 honda fit sport 5MT, i think i might look at new TSX's. it's nearly impossible to locate a MT one in my area though..
hope your work is treating your right, mr.gale!
i just got done with my freelance work.
hahaha
going to motor my Z tomorrow am and visit a few dealers in the pm.

Mr.kenchan, this is the problem of some of the Japanese and Korean car, they try to make their product feels like Euro product... but it turns out it feels very artificial.... to make things worse, people can feel characters are artificial... why can't they just better the brand's original character instead of letting people feel they are trying to do something which they are not capable of.....???
