not sure if you are a DIY kind of guy but it was worth it to me.
I'm a girl (!) and can't even change my own oil, so would def have to have it done; what are H&R springs, exactly? Who would do this; just any mechanic or a body shop?

Another thing I don't like: you barely TOUCH those side panels and you get a ding or a dent. What are they made of, aluminum foil? I could go on and on.
