Ok order placed for Tokico Illumina kit

Paypal made be a offer I had to take advantage of, 20% cash back on any purchases made on Ebay and paid for on paypal, up to $100 cash back.
So I order the Tokico Illumina kit with shocks and springs for $572 shipped, final price of $472 after cash back.
Now my question is, is there anything I should tell the local Meineke muffler guy about this install? Is there any other items I should replace while the work is being done? Will I have access to the shock settings or would I have to make a hole on my carpet to access the rear's?

tell the muffler guy you want a suspension tech to do the instal they'll know (should) what to do. there's no carpet over the rear strut towers so no cutting needed for adjustments.

It was a new paypal account which my girlfriend opened a few months ago and never used......Around a week ago we got the email from paypal with the offer. Not sure why and how we got it...My guess its only for new accounts. Its for purchases made between Dec 1st thru the 19th so the offer's about to end

Tell the Mieneke tech to make sure he clocks the upper spring perch correctly.
Tell him to look for the word OUT stamped on top of the perch and to make sure it faces outwards and lines up with the struts lower mounting flange.

I have no problem having someone on the org doing the job for me.

Anyone in the Boston Area or in Southern NH?

BTW how much will I pay for this job?

Ya need a spring compressor and know how to use it to DIY. Or ya could get kilt by a flying spring top.

+1 on the clocking. Very important to get that right.

I sold mine, used for about a year, for $80. You can buy them new for $80 from cattman. Just gotta put in the labor to insert them.
