Hey guys I just moved to Tempe, AZ and im lookin for a shop that would do good work on changin out my oem springs and struts with some new s techs and d specs. Tryin to save as much as possible but i have only heard quotes for 360+!!

 

If you drive out to Goodyear, I'll help you. And all it'll cost you is some beer.

Thats the best option right there. Fellow G owners lending a helping hand. 3 cheers.

 

that's not too bad of a price...i mean it's not great...but the dealer will charge u 600 + a good shop will charge 200

 

It should only take 3-4 hours or so if you know what you're doing.

 

Take jerome up on his offer, or contact john aka sirboostalot, he does a lot of cheap mechanical work too and hes good

BTW jerome I'm getting those 3.5 gears swapped in on monday

 

IF you know what you're doing and have done the install before, it shouldnt take more than an hour and a half. 2 hours if you hit a snag or two.

the hardest part will be compressing the new springs onto the new d specs...the rest like grant said she be pretty smooth given no big snags.

if you were in socal......you'd be quoted + - 200 for that job at a shop.

you can rent spring compressors at autozone/checkers for free just leave a deposit and get it back when your done.

 

if he was in SoCal, i'd do the install for $100

Get a spring compressor and do it yourself! It is really very simple.

 

OP - if you're trying to save as much as you can, do the work yourself. there are many threads with detailed instruction c/w pictures (use search in Tech forums). rent a spring compressor and torque wrench. the other tools are standard - i'm sure you (or someone you know) will have them.

wait a week and then get an alignment done.

 

Wow thats awesome jerome, unfortunately i am only 20, but you know us crafty 20 year olds i could definetly work somethin out! How far out in goodyear are you tho...i have a pretty busy school schedule

If you really wanna tackle it yourself, you can give me a call and I can tell you exactly what needs to be done. I haven't seen any of the DIYs on this site before so those might be detailed enough already

 

I just started installing my 350z suspension and had to stop cause I didn't think I could finish in time to pick up the kids. I started on the front driver side and unscrewed the strut, and couldn't get it out. I think I just need to bang on it or something. I'll try it again when I have more time.
