Hey guys, so I've been looking around places to get my springs installed and the cheapest place i found was asking for $250... do any of you guys know of a good place to take my car?? Im in the LA area. thanks

 

wow...thats alot.. g/l tho

 

DIY, and rent a spring compressor

 

Nah, if you've never done it before, it's worth paying a shop to do it for you. It's not worth the headache and hassle to do it yourself.

 

Hit up Joe at Operation Z in Northridge

818-886-8040 - tell him Rick sent you

Probably looking at about $150, maybe less.

 

The alignment/brake shop I've used for years quoted me $400 for spring install
but that includes a four wheel alignment. I must have been wearing my
stupid hat the day I asked that question! Everyone you talk to says with the
lift and tools a pro can do the job in 1 to 1.5 hours (install) crazy prices!

 

The job is basically a 2 hour job, non stop. The alignment should be done about 300 miles later, when the springs settle a bit. a 4-wheel alignment should be less than $100 - around $80. All they can adjust is Toe anyway, unless you get camber kits.

Valley Pacific Frame and Alignment - in Chatsworth - would be a great choice for the alignment work.

It's really interesting how nowadays places can charge so much for lowering cars.

 

i was thinking about doing it myself but i've heard its very dangerous, its not worth taking off my head. thanks for the feed back im ganna hit up Joe and see what he can do for me. thanks again for the feedback

 

Maybe try Corner 3 Garage...
