I'm late to the party:
 
I just got a quote from AwesomeZ to install a Stillen Anti-rollbar kit and Eibach springs.

$320. I will let anyone know how it goes if there is interest.

If that includes alignment, that's pretty good. If it doesn't, that's just alright.

The rep I spoke to said that is with an alignment. I'm pretty stoked about this! :happydance:

Considering the cost of an alignment either way, I'd hapily drop a couple hundred bucks to avoid doing springs myself. The sway bars are a 30 minute job I'd DIY, but they've got to come off to do the springs anyway. Might as well let them handle it. FYI- I've got the Eibachs and I needed a camber kit in the rear to get it aligned in spec. I ended up doing F/R camber kits and toe bolts. Just don't be shocked if they can't get it dialed in 100%.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm okay with slightly more negative camber than stock in the rears.

I have no shame to admit that I am horrible at working on cars, so I'm probably going to let them do the work. I've always been better at driving.

Considering how much tires cost, it might be cheaper big picture to go ahead and get the arms and bolts. It would suck to fry a set of tires because the alignment is off.

Good point. Especially since I will get RE-11s to replace the OE tyres when it is time.

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

Z1 had a good deal on the whole set. Thats where I got mine.

I had my anti-roll bars and springs installed at AwesomeZ. Very nice couple who owns the shop!

So far, I am pleased with the work. I posted some pics on this thread.
