Where is Tirerack located? I have to swing by there once I get the rims to have them put on Kuhmo's and install the springs....(unless you per chance know how to install springs )
Tirerack is located almost across the street from Summitt out in Sparks. I'm not sure they do tire installs unless you're buying a rim/tire package from them.. you might wanna call and ask. The place is just a warehouse really, not much of a customer service area.

I've done some spring installs on Austin's mustang with him before. It was a bit of a PITA, but the WRX should be easier. All you gotta do is rent a spring compressor, and then go to town on it... put the car on jackstands, compress the stock spring, unbolt the strut, take the strut off, then reinstall with the new spring... but having never done it, I'm not sure how hard it'll be.

I'm planning on (someday...) getting some take-off STi struts and springs... since they came off a car, they're ready to just bolt on, top hats and all. But that's like 3 times the cost of springs alone.
