a shop quoted me 200 for install and alignment; 2hrs work $160 + $40 alignment.
That seems way steep, anyone get it cheaper?

if someone wants to help out a fellow HTer with a coilover install it would be much appreciated anyone with a shop or tools an knowhow

 

anyone?

 

wat kind of coilovers?? and where are u located??

 

thats pretty cheap for an alignment.

ive seen ppl charge a lot more in general.

but i dont like paying ppl to do labor i can do myself.

an alignment is 80-100

What tools? You need a metric socket set and a torque wrench. If you don't have even those, um, no offense, maybe modifying cars isn't for you.

In fact, last time I was at Sears (or was it Osh?), I picked up a 3/8 torque wrench and a metric socket set for &lt; $100 total, which is about the cheapest you'll get an install down too, and you get to keep the tools afterwards.

 

its not for everyone.

if he wants to pay, and pay for crap parts. let him.

if ur willing to drive to orange county, ill put them in for u within 3 hours, but buy me lunch after the install i tear apart/install **** for fun!

 

ah thats so far... mabey if i feel like a day for a drive

 

Is that offer open to anyone?

 

Free install? Not bad at all. Jump on that.

I paid 150 for my koni shocks install with my eibach springs, PLUS, my ASR subframe brace and rear ITR sway. I didnt get an alignment done since I had one done when I replaced my wheels about 20K miles ago. I should get an alignment done.

200 for the coilover install PLUS alignment is a good deal. Where in LA is this shop located?

if your ride height changed then yes, you need to get another alignment

 

Hello, I know this post is more than 10 years old but I was wondering if the offer is still up..
I am looking to install my coilovers...Located Orange county

 

would you still do it? I need help I don’t have tools but I can recompénsate you with lunch and whatever you’d like.. my struts are blown & I’m in Orange County

 

I would take that free install deal up, it's honestly a simple install and you get to hang out with fellow car people and enjoy. bring some beers and burgers.

 

We normally charge 250.00, but that also includes a corner weight job.
