but you still need to provide springs. coilovers comprise of springs and shocks.

Tokico D-Specs my friend. But sorry they're not coilovers they're struts I meant. They're just under $500 from one of the Sponsors on this forum, I forget which one. You're a SUPER MOD, this forum is YOUR domain, and you missed out on this tokico deal ? hehe

you've been enlightened buddy


EDIT: I just checked my private messages and yea it's from THMotorsports, for $495 SHIPPED !
it's the Tokico D-Spec Adjustables

Yes, I have been enlightened to the fact that you didn't know what you were referring to.

if it matters to anyone this is the shops website, if you go to gallery and use the clicky-arrows in the topright ull see they work on a heck of a lot of aston martins, lambos, bently, rolls, etc... which may have something to do with the price?

anywho.. i would still like a shop reccomendation in or near SJ... i really dont know any shops around here

for someone who i trust, i'd go with auto innovations in milpitas. they are not the cheapest around but they know what they are doing and they will take care of your car. sometimes cheapest is not the best.

Stephan, checkout Leon's recommendation and if you haven't already done so, give Rob at Z Car Garage a shout, as well.

I'm quite sure that you will find a shop to you liking.

Hey, all in fun . . . All in fun.

Yes, I do wonder, at times, about the big spread in shop charges. It would definitely serve Stephan well to shop around a bit.

Nope not really, its free enterprise, an shop can charge however much they see fit, but that doesnt mean we have to use them, its your choice. Just like when ppl goto dealership for maintenances or out of warranty repairs and "surprised" how expensive they are, like we didnt know it costs more at dealerships?

To OP, either ask Kris, if he is willing to do it for you, or you can PM "anotheraznguy" he is back doing install.

300 bucks is really not that bad 200 for install springs and 140 for lip. considering you have to remove the bumber to line it up and drill it.

the lip is OEM from the factory, pre painted and comes with all the stuff needed for assembly... is drilling still required? or are there already holes on the bumper for the lip since its an OEM part?
