Hey, I bought a set of Tokico shocks for my s13. Theu are the blue shocks, came with tokico springs. I installed the front shocks myself but ever since than my car drives horrible. Is there a place I can get these shocks installed for cheap ( because of my financial situation) just so one of my wheels dont fall off when im taking the 401 to school. I live in Etobicoke. Need them installed soon Thanks Stefan ---

Theres not much to it, all you have to do is compress the spring on the strut and bolt the tophat on. Not much you could mess up if you tightened everything up to spec. Your alignment could have got messed up when you did the swap, in which case you have to go to a shop and get an alignment. What exactly makes the car drive horrible compared to your stock setup? ---
