Springs install in Austin?

Anyone know whom I could go to to get my springs installed? Its the entire assembly, im going from coilovers to stock struts+springs. My usual guys are Zeus and Meld, but work is getting the best of both of them.

I really don't want to have to drive to San Antonio for springs install, but if everyone keeps quoting me $250+ for springs install then I may have to.

Springs and struts won't come by until mid-next week, or i'd be all over this.

The stock/springs struts i'm getting from a member and the Tanabe springs are already on the way. Would it be difficult to swap the stock springs with the tanabe springs on the stock assembly?

Dude seriously, when he comes to help you and you see how easy it is, you'll be like...man I wasted $100 bucks. But yeah, to swap whatever springs to whatever struts is simple. If he doesnt have a spring compressor, just go do the tool rental at your local autozone or advance or whatever.

No, it is not difficult at all I have installed many for many guys here in my area.

Why would it be a waste, the local shops are ripping his a** of for something so easy. I am only asking for $100 which I think is more of a tip not payment for work. I have everything needed to do the spring swap, got my own cause I have done so many.

Im not saying its a waste...im just saying once he realizes how easy it is, he will know he could have done it himself without paying. $100 bucks is a great deal if you are going to pay though. $100 bucks to get it done, and learn something in the process is good too.

Im sure he will be surprised how easy it is to do, but like you said he will learn how, and next time someone in his area needs it done, he makes his money back.
