Oh, ok. Good to know. Haha.
So once I get it to the height I want then this needs done?
I can definitely install them myself as I'm mechanically inclined but adjustments is what I know nothing about.

So I'm looking to get Swift springs installed. I lack the skills and equipment to do this myself. A mechanic quoted me $400 stating he has to remove the end links, and remove the drive shaft. Pretty sure he's wrong on both counts. Can anyone confirm?

I am not sure about the price but you don't have to remove the end links and drive shaft. What I did was yank the shocks out using brutal force without even loosen the a-arms.

Found a budget mechanic to the springs for $200-250. This guy did my sway bars for $60 while others wanted $200.
Went to another mechanic, he went by the book and quoted me $475.
Possibly a question for another thread, but has anyone found that mechanic books state inflated hours for work on the Infiniti? I wonder if those numbers are inflated as part of a "luxury ownership" expense.

Typically an independent shop will take a look, have a rough estimate in mind, and tack on a bit more time because as anyone who does DIYs knows... there is always the possibility of something random that will set you back in terms of time.
