Coilover spring install? Where?
 
I have a set of Eibach springs for my '02 WRX. This isn't a job I wish to tackle. Any suggestions of a local shop that would do this type of job and any guess as to how much $$$ for the job. I assume you need to realign after this job? Correct?

Thanks

Say Dean, would you recommend Sid's for this?

dayofpain 2003-06-03 01:46 PM

how bout you give me the 250 they would charge you, ill install you stuff then kick you in the nuts and we can call it even?

jk man, isnt that what this board is for? next time there is a modfest just bring that bad boy over and ill wrench on her for awhile.

thats what we are for...

KenpoKev 2003-06-03 03:44 PM

A kick in the nads...hmmm,

No, I think a wrenching day is a far better option. As far as special tools are concerned, I suspect we would be talking a spring compression "vise" and a 4-wheel alignment when the job's completed. Anything else I'm missing here?

Thanks for the tips. :)

yah, we(meaning Phil and the other knowledge people) can install the hell out of those springs, during one of our modding weekends, which I think should be the weekend after this autocross. 13. 14th.

you will for sure need a four wheel alignment, that i cannot provide. however i have some widow makers to compress the springs. but we really dont have to use them. i have other ways of making things work.

Install fest? hmmm? I need to buy something... But I just finished hemoraging money in the weeks prior to Hawthorne...but that would be cool.

ZER026D 2003-06-03 08:27 PM

yeah very easy just come up we will help

MattR 2003-06-03 08:41 PM

for Sure, my air tools have been sitting idle...

tysonK 2003-06-03 09:33 PM

well it looks like everyone's pretty pumped we need to buy some stuff to install!

sp00ln 2003-06-04 12:47 AM

You guys help with DSMs as well right!? :D

sperry 2003-06-04 08:20 AM

An install day soon would be fun... I have to swap my leaky up-pipe for a flex up-pipe soon.... however, I think the weekend of the 14/15th might not work for me... :( But it's still too soon for me to tell for sure.

dayofpain 2003-06-04 09:27 AM

i will not be able t be around on that weekend either, or the weekend after that or the weekend after that. i will be in vegas,vacaville, and s.f. respectively. sorry guys. but i hope you have fun!

ArthurS 2003-06-04 09:31 AM

Ill be in Vegas the week following that. How is everyone for the Weekend of the 28th and 29th? Is that too far away?

ZER026D 2003-06-04 11:28 AM

To far for me I need to install my boot today or tomorrow

JC 2003-06-04 01:12 PM

I had S^2 install mine. I got a Grand Opening special of $50 though and they adjust my camber and toe. :)

ArthurS 2003-06-04 01:13 PM

I have heard good things about them. Don't they hold meets there now also.

Dean 2003-06-04 02:30 PM

ArthurS 2003-06-04 02:33 PM
