Spring install

For those of you that have gone to a shop to get your springs changed.....where? How much did you pay? Im looking for someone to install my springs

In summer the going rate is a case of beer. :p

Are you doing shocks at the same time in front ? highly recommended.

haha i need them done soon! and no just doing the springs right now

DO YOUR SHOCKS!!!!!!!!!
It's one of those mods where you say "why didn't I do that earlier!?!" or "Why didn't I do that first!?!" once it's done

Do the springs yourself, they are not that hard to do. Frustrating and time consuming yes, but if I can do it then anyone can do it ;) I also reccomend doing your shocks at the same time if you got the $$$ to do it.

any idea where?

im gonna get my shocks/springs done too around spring

gonna get eibach lowering kit but i dont know what shocks...any suggestions?

Spend the money for Koni SA's. You wont regret it :thumb:

go to "bc shock and strut" in surrey just over the pattulo bridge, very professional. ofcousre i would say just do it yourself but if you have to pay someone give them a call and get a quote from them.

and get a realignment at the same time.

I thought you phoned around to get them installed ? Or was it the guy you were going to get the ST kit from used ? Im too old . .. :o

Local shop will be anywhere from 200 to 300 for the job. Do the rears youself and take your front struts into a shop to change them over they will charge around 60 bucks to re/re the strut off the car. Or go to crappy tire and get a strut compressor tool for free and do it yourself. It really isnt that hard of a job and should only take a couple of hours for the unexperienced even. As for good shops they dont exist why do you think i do everything myslef ;)

yeah the guy that i was gonna buy em off of said thats how much some shop wanted.

I've been to BC Shock and Strut for a couple of things before and they do good work there. They did some really good work on my old 1987 4X4 Jimmy. I also went there for an alignment after I lowered my car and to get my LCA relo brackets welded in. I recomend them.
I have Koni SA shocks and they are awesome. I got them for $1000 at Mopac. They are expensive but I feel they are well worth the difference between other shocks. A buddy of mine got Tokico adjustable and they didnt seem as controlable as mine. He had them set on stiff all around and while it was a very good ride, it didnt seem like they were as extreme as mine. For a shock a little less expensive then the Koni, Ive heard nothing but good things about the Bilsteins HD.

There is a good shop if you know a very good friend there, 95wagon on the board does superior work no slack anywhere, I do my work myself but I know he also does his own work on his cars so if I was to every take anything to a shop it would be his no questions asked. Like I said but it could be up to $300 but will most likely be less since your car is in very nice shape.
