Some help in MA?

I've got some springs but (foolishly) don't have the cash to spend on installing them. Anyone around the Western MA area (CT or RI even) want to maybe give me a hand? Of course I will compensate as best I can. Thanks in advance!

Here's a really good DIY. It helped me, I've never done springs before and I got them swapped in about 3 hours by myself.

Tricky parts: using a jackstand to prevent the CV joint from popping out,
loosening the OEM springs off the front strut isn't too bad but there is some tension so I just laid it flat on the ground and they sprung off. The rear is tricky, you need some leverage/pushing power to get the lower spring perch down.

The DIY had good suggestions on how to handle these things. It's really really easy. Sorry I can't help physically. But like I said, this was my FIRST project on my car, and I've never done anything besides installing intakes, or axle back bolt on mufflers.

I'm in CT and I'd be willing to help you install, but only if you've got an impact and a deep 19mm socket...

отлично сказано

Желательно написать что-то под таким постом, выразить свое мнение... но писать банальности или односложные фразы - не к месту, измышления же какие-либо здесь будут неуместны... потому что всё уже сказано. Поэтому всё просто - Гербалайф - отчаявшимся
