I got a quote from a local shop that it would cost $450 to install tien lowering springs for my car. For those of you who did it yourselfs how long did it take you, what if any problems you ran into, and any advise you have. From just looking at the article in the how to secton it does not look like it would be that hard. I would love for me and my dad to do it insted of wastng $450.Thanks for the help.

So the pully knob part has snapped off? Or the rod that pulls up that has the knob screwed on snapped off? If its just the knob that snapped off and the plastic some of the plastic part is still screwed onto the threading on the rod you can use a needle nose pliar and screw it off. Now if the rod itself has snapped off, I don't even know.
