as the title states, I need a reliable shop to install my lowering springs. I checked the shops that are around where I live but they all want to charge above $300. So a place that doesn't charge quite as much would be highly commendable and appreciated. -thanks.

 

I'm not in that area but I think it's a 5-6 hr labor charge for the install so finding 300 or less might be tough. Maybe a club member can help you out instead. I had mine done at a shop and it cost around 500 or so but they did an alignment as well at the same time.

 

anybody works at a shop that can hook me up?

 

It isn't hard and you can do it yourself (probably). Only tool that isn't a ratchet/socket/wrench/screwdriver that you need is a spring compressor and you can rent that at Autozone ($40ish and they give it back when you return it). Follow the DIY's from the forum and it's a walk in the park. I've done my car 3-4 times now lol.

 

damn 500 bucks, most of the socal crew that has lowering springs got it done for almost free...

 

buy a spring compressor and do it yourself

 

I did mine myself with some fellow club members, all it cost me was pizza and beer.

 

I also did mine alone.. took 4 hours and a spring compressor

 

The thing is live in a condo where the driveway is very small and steep and have no garage space available. In addition, I have no jacks and all the other tools required. not to mention that is really cold to work outside.

 

lol cold...suck it up, im installing my borla exhaust tomorrow morning in like 27 degree weather.

 

find a local with time and space. a lot cheaper. i also did mine myself with help, twice.

 

Yo I have a house and garage... willing to do it for free if you rent the spring compressor from autozone ($50 deposit or something). I did my own over a year ago so we could tackle the project together (I somewhat forgot how).

I have all the tools too...

 

way to go ross, if yall can take some pics i would like to see the before and after. Sphinx your car is clean.

 

Ross to the rescue. What springs are they?

 

I've been looking for a shop to install springs too.... maybe we should get an install day for everybody in the area if enough people need to install other mods?

 

springs are a cake walk on our car shouldnt take more than 4 hours or so depending on beer breaks and smoke breaks. also the deposit at autozone is 55 for the compressors and you get a full refund when you bring it back so its basically free to rent the tool.

 

ha I live in houston too and have been looking to get some springs replaced!

 

hell yeah Ross! thats the way to do it, you guys need to rally up the locals and have a good time...

 

That sounds very good Ross, perhaps we can have an install day. I'll pay for the snacks and some liquor. when is everyone available?

 

Tein S techs.

 

im free everyday until the 19th...

 

so am I. although I have to work in the evenings on the weekends, I'm pretty much available the whole day from monday to fridays. are you coming to the meet and greet this next tuesday? if so, perhaps we can arrange the details there.

 

yeah ill swing by gabbys if i dont have anything planned, been awhile.

 

how is saturday morning or monday looking out for you?

 

i have school monday so sat morning works, ill PM you my address. do you have something going on in the afternoon? This will probably take about 3-4 hours
