      Well you will probably see uneven tire wear then.

      It was a shop that did a little bit of everything
      Honestly, I rotated them 5000 miles after the install and no issues, tire wear was even.

      Yeah it doesnt look that hard.... i dont know why places are saying like $320....

      My dad is gonna ask a coworker if he can do it or know anyone that will for cheap. he builds his own race cars and stuff so hopefully.

      There has to be someone local who can do it for you. Check some local car message boards. I do spring installs quite frequently for $100. I mostly do Subarus which take twice as long as an Aveo. If you were in Vegas, I'd do it for $75.

      autozone does loaner tools for a deposit, I'm sure you could get one from them.
      Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far the wall moves after you hit it.

      I found a place that said it will be between $120-and $150 for the install, and $60 for the alignment. Maybe If I show them Khan4rtist's how-to they'll cut it down to $120 haha (probably not though). That probably is as good as I'm going to get, and I dont think that price is too horrible. So i'm going there bright and early on saturday.

      hopefully they do a good job.
