Looking to get my springs/shocks done in Orlando from a respectable shop that is known for good work at a decent price. Also would be great if that shop does mounting/balancing/alignment but if it doesn’t that is fine. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Need to get the work done within the next two weeks. Thank you.

 

i got a place here in tampa that i can hook you up with
the only thing they dont do is an alignment

 

Next Level Performance ask for Tom Porter. 407-869-7223 Tell him Matt sent you, they don't do alignments though

 

Thanks for the quick replies. Tirerack is delivering my tires today; going to order my suspension this week and once I get it will look into those shops.

 

Did you get new wheels too? What kind? Pics?

 

For alignment go to Nicks and Black on OBT or Tires Way on Colonial Drive.

Goos luck,
Ron

 

asnyshop with half a brain should be able to change the springs and shocks.

for example, I changed my own springs a couple weeks ago. It took me about 3 hours because I had no idea what I was doing; I just felt like trying it. I read a few "spring changing" threads, and I went at it. I have never changed springs on a car before. I would rate the front as a 5 out of 10. The rear is a 2 out of 10. lower numbers are easier.

 

3 hours ??? lol i could do it with one hand in three hours


they are soooooo easy to change, the back can be done in seriously 15 minutes with hand tools. it couldnt be easier, the front can be done in 30 with hand tools, both really really easy.

 

well arnet you just the alimighty and powerful jeremy

 

Or cross-thread a shock tower bolt, lol.

 

If you guys want to get together and have a little project day I would be down for that and could supply free beer or whatever. I would do it myself but do not have access to all the tools/lift etc. I am getting 05 350z springs and D-spec shocks. My current tires are 245/45 18, new ones are 245/40 18. I used to have 03 350Z suspension but took it back to stock which it is now. Felt that if i go with a lower 245/40 tire the car would have way too much wheel gap (it was too little before), so I am goign with the drop and for handling support.



As you can see it was too low in the back with the larger tire



Thanks for all the help guys.

 

Peckerhead! I was taking my time. now that I have done, it would be much easier the next time. You are right about the rears, 15 minutes...TOPS! Its only one bolt!

The front took longer because I used spring compressors. With the spring compressors on, it doesn't leave alot of room to wiggle the spring/strut combo out.
