Default Neu speed spring install

I will be getting used neuspeed springs form a friend.
Howmuch is the drop? I have 18 volk gtn's with s03's , would I rub, does anyone has the same wheel spring combo?

How much would be a good install price, I dont want to get raped.

The drop will range from 1.5 to 1.75". With 18's I think you will rub since the GT-N's aren't s2000 offsets, but I can't confirm that. I have the springs as well with CE28N's and they don't rub at all. As for installation, I really think you can do it yourself. It's not very difficult at all, I believe there are a few write ups on spring/coil-over installs on the board. Hope that helps.

I had a pair of 18's, with the incorrect offsets, with the same neuspeed springs and I never rubbed once.
fly is right, install them yourself, that's what I did.
A shop wanted to charge me $160 for putting on springs, so I said forget that, and saved $160.
put 'em on yourself, you will save some money.

You dont "need" a spring compressor, but its very handy and safe to have one. You can just have someone step on the shock assembly while you unbolt the 14mm bolt on top and shoot it at a fence or a curb. I'd just watch my hands and feet because it stings really bad .

be sure to wrap it up with towels and step on it, nothing should fly anywhere.
