ay yo if i'm gonna get the rmr kaminari body kit, and lower my car 1.5 in. with the road race ebach pro kit....will it look decent? and will it even look like i lowered my car? if it's a newb question...i'm sorry just need to know and where do you recommend i get the springs installed? i live in the renton washington area

 

yup, you'll be able to tell your car is lowered. The kaminari kit doesnt make your car that much lower, but between it and the springs, you'll see a big change. About getting your springs installed... if you're handy, you can do them yourself and save a bunch of money (like myself, and a lot of other guys on here)... otherwise, take your car to a tune shop, or any tire store

 

aight koo thx, big help

 

how much should a shop charge to install the springs?

 

Save yourself some grief and a crap load of cash and get some friends and do the install youself. If I can do it.. anyone can do it =)

I even have a handy how to install on my website. Take a look at it and see if you have the know how and the desire.

to put it into perpective the ONE place that would do it in my area wanted 400 dollars and they had never done it before.. I saved that cash, got some beer and a friend and did it ourselves.

Rock on and be your own mechanic.

 

Instead of paying someone to do your springs take the money you save plus the cost of the eibachs and buy tein or jic coilovers and do it your self.

 

dont you need a spring compressor tho? i know i dont have one or any of my friends, is that something you can rent?

 

u dont need a spring compressor....in the how-to he didn't use on. i've read it many times lol to poor to afford springs though...

 

Usually $50 a corner, so $200 total. I've done two spring installs (Tein S-Tech and Ground Control) and haven't used compressors with either. All you need is an impact gun and you're golden.

 

Yeah just stand clear of the spring when you losen the bolt at the top of your strut.

 

Very nice how-to on the installation of the rear. The front is a little vague, but the tutorial on this site for the fronts is sufficient. You might want to check your grammer though. Just playing.

 

Damn, i wouldnt have thought it would cost 400$ to install a set of springs, that is crazy. I would only pay upwards of 100-150$ atmost, but first i would try to do it myself and if i couldnt do it i would then pay someone.

 

Well when a shop has never done it before they really don't know how much to charge, so they will charge the price of a full strut installation/replacement. Hell I think I got charged $150 for the install of just one strut (after paying $180 for the replacement stut - please someone make an aftermarket strut for us). From now on I will be doing everything myself.

 

Hey spelling errors make it unique and "mine" =)

We did use a spring compressor though just to play it safe. You can get them for a 40 dollar deposit at Autozone. You can keep it for as long as you need and simply take it back when ever your done.

Yeah the fronts are vague because they were a WHOLE lot easier then the backs hehe..

 

but if i dun want that much of a drop then eibach are good right?
