i'm trying to lower my car this week hopefully as i have new rims coming in. i wish i could do it myself but my mechanic buddy is not around to lend me a hand. i'd probably end up breaking something... anyways, i've called a few places up and they all gave me ridiculous prices just to install- 375, 400, 500 does anyone know a knowledgable shop (that wont break anything) that would install some springs at a cheaper price?

 

ams isp check the sponsors on dcevoclub

 

ISP will do the install for like 120.

 

Vip Garage did mine, After the intall they drove it two doors down to get it aligned. AWESOME SERVICE!!!

 

these places are in dc right? sorry, i shoulda been more specific- how bout a place near baltimore?

 

ISP is near baltimore.

 

Agile Automotive in Fallston is really good!!!

 

ams, isp, and vip garage are all too far from where i live. they're like +45 min. away. Agile automotive is a bit closer but they are soo booked they couldnt do it for another 2 weeks. i might take it down there tho to get my car tuned once i get my turbo.

anyone else know any shops closer to the city?

 

pm'ed ya

 

If you were in IL I'd say come over to my place and I'd give you a hand.
As far as what places are quoting you....that sounds about right.
Changing out springs is fairly labour intensive. Not difficult, just takes a while.

My 2c.

 

do it yourself if you have the tools and you can rent the spring compressor from advanced auto parts.
