i was wondering where is the best place to get my springs installed in the bayarea, and if they can do it on either a saturday, or a sunday, that would be perfect

Ramo,

You can try Motorsport Techniques, in Hayward. (510) 783-8383. Ask for Ken. I got charged $505 for parts, labor and alignment. However I realized that he charged me $240 for parts. So I recommend you purchase that seperately on line else where and can probably get it for around $200-210. Then the installation and alignment should be is about $250 so you could probably get it all done for around $450. Alignment itself is $75 and takes an hour. Negociate the price.

The quality of the work is good and hey have been in the business for 9 years (I asked). Hope this helps. I am going back there Friday noon to get my alignment done after they installed Eibach Pro kit. Front dropped 1.5 and rear 1.2 inches and not even seated yet. Hope it don't drop any more. Also the springs are black.. I thought they would be red..

Cheers,

MachIII in Daly City if you live in that side of the Bay. Ask for Johnson.........tell him Sam sent you......

 

how much did they charge you?

 

I install everything myself.......I'm just recommending them because I've known the owner for quite some time now and his installs are great.

 

hey can you install my springs?

 

Ya i recommend MachIII also..... been their lots of times to buy stuff. He hooks it up with a good price if he knows you.

I personally don't have them install anything cause its a waste of money when I can do it myself. =)
It's pretty simple and easy to install suspension.

 

If you're in Milpitas/San Jose area try Scott's Performance.

 

I'll just charge you 100

Anyone know if these shops have experience installing on a G35? Sounds like Motorsport Techniques does but $250 sounds a little expensive. If you have a good shop, also please post contact information and a referral if you want it. Thanks!

Got that from a friend who used to hang out with the S2000 club.

However, I got my car done at Motor Sports Technique in Hayward and I am not 100% impressed. I ordered the springs through them and they charged me full retail ($250) for it [img]/w3timages/icons/frown.gif[/img]. Alignment it self only cost $85 and installation is $150, not $250 per my invoice.

Also my camber in is barely in spec now at -1.1 and -1.5 (left and rigth) . This is what it should be so I am off by -0.3+. It does not look too bad and so far after 500 miles no excessive thread ware noticible. The guy says that's the max he can adjust the camber which leads me to believe he don't know jack since folks in this forum says the rear are adjustable to a certain amount.. I do have Eibach Pro Kit btw..

seriously I'll put the springs on for you if you want. I always do my own suspension work because I don't trust anyone else to do it right.

My sister went to this shop to install her springs and they dumb asses forgot to put the bushing and to bolt the top of the strut down. She was driving around with her whole front right suspension wobbling around, you could literally move the whole thing with your hand.

darcy - so if your interested let me know. do you ride? i'm straight5150
