Dear Bros & Sis, Just got a set of lowering spring and yet to install. A few question here before go for installation:- - Any recommend place to install? labour fee? - Roughly how long it takes to do the job? - After install, do we need to do alignment? chamber adjustment? If yes, the recommended shop got such service and cost? thx

My workshop charges $120 for front and rear swap w/o alignment. Kinda ex. I did it in JB for RM120 for all 4 incl of alignment. Don't need for camber kits. Just normal alignment will do. Been there done that.

I used to have sport springs on my ride. Zero finger clearance for rear and two fingers front. No rubbing of fenders on 16".

OMG, went to install my lowering spring last sunday, happened to know that my front both side root mounting (the black triangle plate) are worn (crack liao), and front driver side top spring holder are worn as well! lastly my front driver side absorber top screwing line also spoilt (nut cannot screw liao!). I had to stop him for installation of the rear but since front passenger side already done with no issue (only spotted root mounting a bit worn), so decided to change both front spring but rear will only install after i got those replacement parts for the worns.
Bros here any idea to get those replacement parts (hyundai/kia)? scrapyard? or any car sharing the same parts with our cerato V1 (HB)?
