what did they charge you for install?

Once your springs and struts break in a little bit, I do believe things won't be so bouncy and it will be a bit a stiffer going over bumps. You NEED to get a rear sway bar, it will be incredible how much better your car will feel

I'm going to guess and say either at $200 or below? My springs and alignment were at $168 i think...

Orlando did my H&R springs a while back... :D
Does the bounciness affect the steering of the car? I probably won't notice much because of the rear sway bar on mine.

But yea, def. get the sway bar from Garm, under $130 i believe

$210 for installation of springs,shocks/struts, and alignment. Pretty good price IMO.

How long does it take to have them broken in? I am going to order the sway bar

So there is a 19mm bar and a 23mm bar. Which is best?? Never mind I did a quick search and found the answer.

The bounciness doesn't effect the steering. It's just something that sucks when trying to sip some coffee =)

Nice pics, can't wait to install my DF210s here soon.

General rule of thumb is give it a few weeks I guess to completely settle in. I noticed after going over some rough patches of cement and big bumps, that seemed to help as well haha. But really, it'll feel better when it all settles in. And yes a rear sway bar will awaken your car a great deal, just wait and see. Don't wait too long though, longer you wait the longer your missing out.
