if you do this, i recommend picking up the complete M030 package from Sunset Imports. Winds up being quite a bit cheaper than bilsteins w/ aftermarket springs.

not sure what the labor rates are now adays, but a good mechanic can do this job in six hours.

EDIT: plus one hour for alignment.

I don't have my receipt with me but my indy shop installed my Eibach Pros, brought my car somewhere else to have it aligned and replaced my two front rotors with OEMs for a grand total of about $1000 CAD. I think the cost fo the rotors alone were at least $400+

Does the M030 package result in a much harsher suspension over the standard S package? The creaking and rattling is starting to pick up. Not sure if that's due to worn out shocks or if things are starting to come loose. I've got this one creaking sound coming from the windshield header that's driving me batty when the top is up.
I'm considering the PSS9's just so I can adust the height and rebound.

i think the M030 setup rides great. i only know of one person who thinks it's too harsh, but he's a whiner, so take that with a grain of salt.

decide early what you want to do with your car. if you don't plan to do much track driving, there's really no point to the PSS9. the M030 RoW ride height is great IMO. if, on the other hand, you plan to do some track driving or a lot of auto-x, consider the PSS9. by far the most OEM-like ride from a coilover.
