Default First Mods Complete

Just got H Sport F/R sway bars and ECS H Pipe installed. My first impressions of the H Pipe install is pretty favorable. At idle, not much different than stock. Up to about 3500 rpm it is not any loader than stock, but it has a deeper kinda of grumble to it. Higher up in the rpm band it really sounds nice. Louder and more agressive than stock.

No real impressions yet on the sways. Rainy here in Boston, so no opportunity to really push the car.

I also bought a set of H&R Springs, but the installer wanted to charge me almost $600 for the job (4 1/2 hrs labor and $150 alignment). Does this sound correct? I thought that was a little steep so I held off.

If $600 is about right, are the springs worth it? Do they make the ride that much better?

I heard that springs will probably cause the DRC to fail even quicker than ever.
