Drop looks good.

 

Yessir

 

Appreciate it

 

NP. How many miles do you have on them? Settled yet?

 

Here's the drop after 300 miles. They settled very good. I'm impressed. I'm using the GSR shocks and tire pressure is 34F and 32R and the ride quality is a lot better than before. Even in bumpville El Paso where the roads are garbage.

 

Love the Drop wondering what the spec is for your Tires 265? or 275?

 

I got a question for you guys... I was going to order these springs and i called a few shops to see how much installation would be and most of the shops quoted me at $570 total to install these springs! Is this right? 3hrs for the front and 2.8hrs for the rear..

Does this seem about right? I have a buddy who owns a 9 and he says he can do his suspension in about 2hrs.. How is it the 10 takes that long to put springs on?

 

You're better off letting a buddy do the install for a case of beer and some food. Shops charge a flat rate for their service.. They go by the book.

 

I don't think it seems right.
The quote I got from West end alignment is 400 totall with alignment.
The quote I got from Road race engineering is 300 totall with alignment.
I actually went to RRE to install these springs initially, but they found my shock were leaking so I they charged me 100 dollars, cuz they already took off my shock and they would charge me for putting them back on the car.

I got new shocks and then decided to do it myself, so I could save some money.
It cost me roughly 8 hours, cuz this is my first time to install these springs on this car, and I am working on it alone. And I did run into some troubles and I need help from this forum to trouble shoot.The spring compressor was not very easy to work with, either.

If I were doing this again, I think 5 hours total would be my estimate.
Then again, shop should have access to more tools and lift. I think 6 hours is kind of slow for a shop to install these.

 

It caught me on surprise. I guess i never really had any idea how much money and time it took to install lowering springs....

 

They are 265

 

Well if you figure an AWD alignment is about 70- 100ish depending on where you go, those price seem about right. If you wanna save money, the installation is not difficult if you DIY. I am not that mechanically inclined. I can do all the basics but I've never touched the installation but I used the how-to on here and I got it done in about 8 hours. I took my time though. If I were to do it again, I could finish the job in about 3-4 hours. Plus (as I learned from here and my experience with this) you'll want to wait a bit for an alignment. I drove about 300 miles/ 1 week and then I got it aligned and she drives straight and true now. Just my 2

 

Oh and definitely have or rent an impact gun and torque wrench.
