ACS springs purchased!

Finally bought some ACS springs, been deciding for a while between them and H&R, my main concern is the poor soft handling of the car so after lots of research I decided these would be better for me, I then saw a brand new pair on ebay and which I got for 250 so took them whilst I could! really cant wait to get them fitted!

In a similar position, just waiting for mine to turn up tomorrow and for a garage to get back to me on fitting costs which hopefully isn't astronomical.

Springs are springs, should be £200-250 ish in labour and make sure you get tracking done a month or so after the springs have bedded in.

I can't really afford to get them fitted right now. But are they easy to do? I could be tempted..bear in mind I have no mechanical knowledge, I did change some spark plugs once that was it

That would be good actually if you're sure that's ok? A tank of fuel will be cheaper than a garage to fit
