Hey everyone, I just ordered some Stillen Sways - know of any good (cheap) shops that you trust to do the install? I live in Palo Alto, so anywhere close by would be appreciated

 

Kurzo,

Down in your area, I would suggest calling Rob at Z Car Garage. From what I understand they are do some good work and are quick. The Sway bar install goes pretty quick with a lift. It should take less than an hour. I installed my Stillen sway bars and HKS exhaust in under 90 minutes. I was planning on having Rob do my install, but I lucked out and got use of a lift. Enjoy your new sway bars.

Hey Andy, got time to install my exhaust? just the muffer no pipes

 

Wrenching on an M3!? Hehehe . . . I have never worked on any of my bimmers. Parts/mods were way too exspensive. Shane, send me a PM and let me know what kind of kind of tools and socket sizes are required. I am on an 8am flight to L.A. tomorrow. I'll be back Sunday night. We'll figure something out, okay?

 

I can install sways in a one car garage without a lift... $150

 

Ouch! . . . My back and neck . . . ****, must be nice to be younger.

 

I just installed mine by myself in the garage. It wasn't any big deal. Removing all of the screws from the front under-panelling was annoying though. Took maybe 90 minutes. And I'm probably considered "older" by many on this forum.

 

Haha, 150. I could do it myself but I don't wanna have to go get a big torque wrench and jack stands... if the install is a decent price then it'd be better to have someone else do it.

Z car garage seems to be a busy place... any other local shops?

 

okay, now i got a full exhaust to install from headers, test pipes, and catback. sway bars i did myself, it was easy. the headers will be a different story.. these are the alphawerks headers, so no engine lift needed.


so far, its Z-car garage, but I was a little pissed that rob said he'd call me back and I never heard from him again. Pretty unprofessional...

 

alright, i went with some co-worker recommendations - yarnell's toyota/datsun of mountain view - $90/hr

 

If you can get use of a lift it would be much easier. Did my sways and exhaust in under 2 hours. Hehehe . . . I may need to beg for that lift again for new springs and shocks. If not, I'll just pay to get it done.

 

Talk to me..
i do labor on the side
spring install usually 100
sway install 100
etc...
i am in milpitas area.

 

How bout an muffer and mid-pipe? no welding need(I think )

 

Can't you just install it yourself? If not, you can come over to my house and I'll help you. Muffler and mid-pipe are EASY installs.

 

I need headers done

I got a quote from Rob @ Z-car for 384.50 to do headers, and Yarnell's Toyota/Datsun in Mt View for ~3hrs@90/hr
