Default Switching springs

Hey all,

Quick offer for any mechanically minded people...

I have a 96 gx hatch, stock springs are way to soft and it is really strating to annoy me. Good bloke off this forum gave me his stock 2002 wrx springs, so i'm wanting to switch the springs over but a suspension shop wanted $300+ to just switch the 4 springs!

Was wondering if anyone here was confident enough to do this if i brought the car to them and paid them cash/carton??

Cheers

You'll need to factor in a decent wheel alignment as well

if the springs taper in at the top i don't think they will fit your 96 strut tops and from memory those springs do
