can anyone give me an estimate of a shop isntalling springs? tein s techs to be exact?

 

Why dont you want to do it yourself? You can get the tools at an auto parts store and most often it's a small rental fee that may even be returned!

Do you have aftermarket shocks to go with these springs as well???

 

what rental fee? autozone, kragen are all free tool lender..great place but their stuff is usually beat up due to the same reason i guess.

40-100 depends on place

 

i live in a small *** town in ohio but i paid $200 for my springs and i had to replace the 2 rear struts which were $100 a piece and i had to buy a camber kit which was $100 (for all 4) and my total bill was $650....i paid $150 for them to do something i could of done myself....i woudl say go buy the tools and do it yourself and then charge your friends when they decide they want to lower there cars too...

 

dont get me wrong.. i love workin on the car.. but i live in MASS.. its been snowing and raining and i dont got a garage so i really have no way aroudn it but to take it to a shop to get it done.. i do not have shocks.. these teins will drop 2 in front 1.5 or 1.7 in back... heard the rule of thumb is anything over 2.. i would need..

 

You'll need shocks quicker, thats all it means. Aftermarket springs will eventually blow the shocks, just like stock shocks will eventually give with shock springs from loads adn such. The lower you go the faster they blow.

If you dont want to do it yourself because you dont have a garage in winter, which would suck, i'd look for a friends house or a friend that works in a shop. Without a deal, this could cost you between 2 and 4 hundred dollars easily...

 

Bring it over to my house. Give us 2-3 hours $100 bucks and a half rack of corona. You will have yourself 1 genuine lowered vehicamobile.

Good idea

mang you guys are getting rip off big time, that's one hell of a price for installation alone(1-2hr MAX, unless you got some imfamous rusted honda "B" bolt"

 

so its from 40- 400 just on installing springs?? goddamn.. 400.. thats like almsot 3 times wat i paid for the springs.. lol

 

It depends on how greedy the mechanic is...

The 40-100 is to rent the tools and then return them for the fee...

Well if you dont want to do it yourself, they pretty much have a monopoly over you and can charge you whatever they want.

 

It is a straight forward DIY but do a cross/forum search on the subject and you'll find many HELP needed threads about seized / broken lower control arm bolts.
So if you try it yourself soak the LCA bolts with penetrating fluid first and let them soak. You can heat/torch the bolts first also but only a little so you don't cook the bushings.
