I just got my Full Coilovers installed at a local shop but the mechanic that installed them wouldn't take the time to make the car sit how I wanted it (lower and even on all corners). The car is about an inch higher then I want and I would rather take it to another shop so that they could adjust it. The full coils have the adjustable lower mounts so it is a little bit more work to adjust them. Can anyone reccommend a good shop. Im willing to drive a little ways. Thanks in advance!

if you paid him i would make him adjust them. just go back to the shop and say he didnt hav time and you need it fixed. what coils did you get?

 

So...it's better to pay a shop to jack the car up and turn some adjusters than to just use your stock scissors jack and do it yourself? Are you ******* serious? How goddamned lazy can you get?

x2.

Adjust the height yourself Holmes.

 

Typical H-T answer....If I knew how to do it I would. When it comes to Suspension parts I dont mess with them because I dont know what im doing. If you dont want to answer the question I asked then STFU. Thanks.

 

Your coilovers came with a tool, it fits on the coilover sleave.

Righty tighty, lefty loosey.

It's SO simple, if you knew how to do it you'd NEVER consider paying someone else to do it.

like i said if you paid the shop to install then u paid to have it put on how u wanted... take it back and raise hell til its done the way u want.

 

Why take it back for a third time so they can just f*** with the car?

you never said u were there twice already.... ask a friend with coils how they adjust theirs.... or just get the phone book and look for shops in your area.... good luck.

Because obviously you're too lazy to figure out how to do it yourself. You're posting on the best Honda/Acura resource in the entire world and yet you're so unmotivated/prissy/weaksauce that you won't search for a thread that walks you through the extremely simple process of adjusting your coilovers? ****. That's pathetic.

Im ya, it would be that easy if I didnt have the adjustable lower mounts. Which means the lca bolt have to be unbolted, pushed down, adjusted, re-attached, and then re-torqued.

And you'd pay someone for that 10 minutes of work?

Your an idiot. Some of us on this most "prestiges" Honda/Acura web site are not as mechanically inclined as you must be. Im far from lazy but wait you dont even know who I am or what im about. So shhh little kid. Grow up, go start an E-Fight some where else. Even if I was lazy who cares, its not your car right? Exactly. Bottom line - Shh.

Come to my house and I want to see you do all four corners in 10 minutes...I guarantee 50 % or more of the people on these boards don't work on there own car.

 

i didn't say all four corners.

But it sounds like you know enough about it to do it yourself. So why don't you? Even if it takes you an hour.

It's coil over height adjustment, it's not rocket science.

 

I know exactly how to do it, ive read up on it, but i dont have the tools to do it. So why not take it somewhere and pay $50 bucks to get it dont rather then go throught the hassel of finding tools,jack, etc? O ya its because im lazy. True. You got me.

 

do you have someone turn your headlights on too??

 

Ya my wife does it for me.

There's an unspoken rule somewhere that says, "You're not allowed to call someone an idiot unless you can spell." Since "you're," "prestigious," and the mysterious apostrophe are beyond your grasp, I'll take your whining with a grain of salt.

I guess I'll just wait until you post, "I took a **** and need someone to wipe my *** for me," before making any further suggestions.

 

PM Luserkid and he will respond when he gets off work. Explain your setup and perhaps even provide him with pictures so he can tell if

1. If he can do it
2. How much it will cost
3. How long it will take
4. When he can fit you in.

If you want to save yourself money in the long run I would run down to Sears and pick up a 263pc mechanic set. It goes for about $200 on sale and should have mostly everything you need to work on your car minus specialty tools etc. That and a jack and you are GTG

 

11211 posts and counting, good one...Im sorry I type over 120 words per minute and misspell words. Don't be a cry baby little kid, get over the fact that not all of us work on our cars.

 

95ProjectEJ1, thanks for helping me out.

 

alright dude, i apologize for my comment...no one is trying to fight you on this..just trying to save ya money and get you more involved with your car. for **** i cant fix in less then a couple of hours i dont work on cause i dont have the time...work too damn much. but like 95projectej1 said...invest in some tools..either slowly or all at once..take your time..and just put it back together the way you take it apart

 

Its all good, Im not crying about your comments. Good info! Thanks!

 

I'm astonished, all you really need are basic household tools and a socket-set.

Your coilovers came with the adjustment tool.

Just for reference, what kind of coilovers are they?
