I don't have the car yet, but might be interested. All that's included are the springs? Does $275 cover all four corners and everything else needed for installation? I've never installed a lowering kit, how much work (time) is involved and what kind of place do you take it to for the work? Does it void any warranty clauses?

Thanks.

the springs come complete and ready to install. i personally have never installed them on a 3, but on the protege it was more time consuming than anything else. any decent tuning shop, suspension shop can do the job, probably for $150 to $200 depending on where you go. I think even a Midas type of shop does springs now. as for warranty, the supposed law is that unless the part you put in directly causes something to break, your warranty is intact. at worst they will void the warranty on your struts and obviously they wont warranty the aftermarket springs. i've found that each dealer is different - some make a stink, others don't even say a word.
