Cheap place to install springs?

Where can I go to get springs installed for cheap? Its a 2001 civic with macpherson struts so its a pretty simple install. I'd attempt it myself but don't want to be left stranded in my driveway.

Anyone know the cheapest place to get it done? Or maybe I could pay someone (must be very experienced) here to do it?

Pretty new car so should be no hassles of rusted parts or ball joint problems.

Check out RT motorsport and see what Rick says.

Price is pretty good and he does a good job. He knows his stuff, I take my car there for everything thats mechanical. So check him out!

I have a couple questions about changing springs.

1. Will doing so affect my extended warranty in any way?
2. What if I get it done at Acura Woodbine or any other Acura/Honda dealership?

Thanks.

It should only affect your the suspension part of your extended warranty. In order for Acura/Honda to deny a warranty claim, they must prove the modification you did caused the problem.

I wouldn't get it done at a dealer, they will likely charge you a lot more than a regular shop.
