hmm doesnt sound too bad. Only thing is i know my dad doesnt have an alignment machine so not sure what you will want to do.

I say bribe Tony and get him a spring compressor. Im sure he would be more than willing to do it

richmond is about 50 minutes or so, ft is over two hours. Really I was just throwing that out there to see if I could get it all done at the same time.

Im trying to see if there is any way to coordinate you getting the springs put on and get the paint work done if the price is right on the paint work to minimize the number of trips you have to make.
I just talked to my dad and he said he would open up the shop on Saturday if you wanted them installed. He said $200 but the only thing is that you have to get an alignment somewhere else.

only problem i see "if" you get the paintwork is that you will have to leave the car at least for a couple of days so they can prep and paint and i dont think i have ever taken a car there and got it back on the same day so let me know what you want to do.

actually, if you got the springs done here...there is a place here that's off of Midlothian that does laser wheel alignments but they are only open on weekdays. when i had my prelude, a 4 wheel alignment only cost me $79.00 with the computer print out of what was needed and how far off it was, if you're interested i can stop by there tomorrow to get the number/price for you.
