85ish i think he said. but i'll take 72hours !

hmmm.............. Cut Springs are highly damgerous, they mess up the spring rate set by the manufacturer, they can fall out of their "cups" and damage the wheel, or fall out completely and cause you to crash.
i would go for the PI's or Eibach, personally i'd go for the PI's

aww man, what are spring compressors? i might just take it to a garage actually haha

I wouldn't advise him to try it on a stilo the standard springs are excessively long on this car ..if the compressors slip off the springs ..well god forbid the consequences..I'm sure youve all heard the song "Hitler he only had one ball"..I had to make some over long compressers myself and the top mount have to be assembled correctly or else ..couldnt find any long compressors on the net..back springs are very easy tho to change over..

mate of mine changed the springs on his car himself, spring compressor slipped off the spring and it shot off. put a hole in the roof. luckily he wasn't near it when it happened. very dangerous job.
expect to pay about £25 per corner to get them fitted.
