anyone know a good shop that could install springs for around 150? the guys that do my work at benson honda are really busy and i cant take my car in right now or has anyone put springs on their rx8 before and want to help a fellow owner out? id pay you for your time of course

!!EDIT!!
so it looks like we're going to have an install party! if you are interested in coming down to just hang out or get something done to your car post here and i'll update the list. We would need a place to do this at so if anyone is kind enough to let us use your drive way let me know and ill update this post!

WHEN: June 13th, Saturday
TIME: TBD
WHERE: TBD

1. tbk - install lowering springs and change diff fluid
2. 9krpmrx8 - install new rotors and brake pads
3. cornholio - change diff fluid

 

you see if you lived here in SOCAL, my driveway is open for installs...and all you'd have to bring is food and lots of beer

 

oh man i would have been over there so quick with pizza and a lot of amber dos x!
i gotta move to cali

 

lol

 

cmon somebody help this guy!

 

Do you have a place to do it? We could do it at my office (covered and flat surface) on a weekend but I need to get my spring compressor from my dad or you can buy it at harbor freight. Its a few hour job but we can knock it out no problem, I have all the hand tools we just need good jackstands and a jack. But for the 150 you were gonna spend you can buy that.

 

OR you can rent one from autozone

 

yeah but those suck, this is a pic of the one I got at harbor Freight for cheap.

 

 

O.o

 

i have a flat covered driveway but my dads friend actually came and took the jackstands this morning

 

I don't know how much of a hurry you are in but I can probably get my compressor and my stands from my dad next week but he lives in Waco. Jigga and I swapped mid pipes and it went well but we didn't have stands or a real good jack. but dude I'm sure we can dig up stands and a decent jack.

Spring installs are a piece of cake. We can make a mod day of it, I need to install my new rotors and pads.

 

well i was looking to get it done today lol, but if we can make a mod day of it next weekend im up for it!

 

sounds good let me know i have a Jack and Stands need to change my diff fluid...

 

i need to do that also...so mod day next weekend?! who wants to host it? lol

 

tbk, you should plan a day out...when, where, whos coming, and what needs to be done....

 

alright as soon as i get it all organized ill make a new thread about it.

 

no need for that, just edit your first post

 

first post edited, ill see if i can get the jackstands back by then, i also have a jack to bring.

 

yeah dude DIY. wit 150 thats like a party in Dozers driveway. you'd only spend 50 for food and booze. drunken DIYs are awesome!

 

^hell yeah!!! the installs at my house are always fun and full of drunken shenanigans....calling ATILLA post ur youtube videos of the drunk install at my house

 

So you mean the 13th then right? I am changing out my alternator tomorrow but that will only take a second. We could do it at my office but there can't be any shenanigans for liability reasons.

Check it out.

ya sorry didnt specify, i did mean the 13th. ^^those look nice but i dont know if i want to buy one and then rarely use it. but i will be buying some tokico d specs soon so it might be worth it. hmmm decisions...

 

Yeah I have used mine twice but my dad and I do a lot of off roading and so I have used it a few times on other peoples vehicles. But I got divorced and so all my tools are at my fathers shop until I get a house with a garage again.

 

Okay I did everything this weekend except my brakes. So I will doing just my front rotors and pads since I have not received my rears and won't by this weekend.
