Default Fender rolling and coilovers

What are normal/decent good prices to have your fenders rolled? Also looking into getting some coilovers so i can raise it back up in the winter and put the stock wheels on. Was looking at ST and Racelands. Are the ST really that much better being significantly more expensive or should I just stick with racelands?

$400 - $600 per corner, depending on the place/how much you want them rolled.

It's not the tools that are expensive, it's the art of it.

OP, you can rent a roller from eastwood or rollyourfender.com if you're feeling up to DIY. The fee is like $50 plus a couple hundred dollar deposit which you obviously get back. You might also try craigslist. There's a guy around here who will do all four corners for $100, and a guy on the zine from the west coast who does it for like $250.

IF you're going to try doing it yourself, go slow and use a heat gun. It's a lot fackin harder than it looks.

$400 per corner is ridiculous, there are plenty of people on craigslist who do a great job for $40-$75 per

It's not that hard.. Heat Gun and Fender roller/puller. I can't imagine that anyone would pay $1000 for each corner! That sounds crazy. Might as well buy RS4 fenders.
