I need a shop to install suspension
I just moved to Austin from the DC area and I want to install my Tokico struts and Espillar springs. Can someone please let me know where to go to get these installed. I am living in Austin but I frequent San Antonio often. Thanks in advance.

I smell a mod party a brewing! Can anyone say nitrous kit install? I have spring compressors too but I suggest taking the srpings to a shop and have them mount the springs and then it would save a lot of time and we coudl just slap those babies on!

Service department huh? Need any medication samples (by prescription of course) or if you need any computer work we could trade. I hate using the damn spring compressors and I will be ordering teins soon.

I can stop by anytime. Let me know what the cost would be. I was quoted anoutrages cost in DC so I waited until I arrived here in Texas.

Ok, well... I kinda thought that you had the whole set up.... not just the strut and spring. I would need to see when I can be in the shop, like on a day they won't be busy.
Other than that, I don't mind an install party at all.

The problem is that you still need the mounting hardware/bump stops etc from the factory assembly so you still need to take it apart to use everything on the aftermarket springs/shocks. It took about 4-5 hrs for myself and another knowledgable forum member to do my Konis/MS springs with nothing but hand tools and a floor jack/jack stands.
