okay, i NEED a suspension shop....

[madking411]

that'll do a good job of an install for not too high of a price. I'm gonna be gettin some springs/sleeves/coilover kit installed. I purchased them today, and im gonna pick em up on monday. I could possibly get them installed within the same day if i can find a shop that'll do the install after 5:30 or 6..

Where can i get the install done? and about how much SHOULD it cost?
(i hope this thread isnt against the rules...)

MAHDAVI motorsports will do it for $350.
or u can spend ur weekend working on it.seriously only like 3 bolts holding each strut in.and part store to rent a spring compressor.

[Whiteboy™]

do it yourself, you lazy ass.

Well, i would, but after reading some directions i downloaded for the 2002 version of my car, theres some cutting of my strut involved that i dont know how to do specifically, and i dont wanna cut off too much or screw anything up...

[Whiteboy™]

just goto like a muffler shop to have the cutting done, give them all the specs and make sure they have warranties!

[madking411]

I dont know what the specs are....

[cactusEG]

what kinda car is it

sunfire i think :thinking: but i think u should try to do it ur self with some one that knows whats up, trust me u learn alot about ur car

[madking411]

Yeah, thats right, its a sunfire. And, who can i get to help me do it? I dont really know anyone who would help me do it for free and who knows whats up... I was thinkin about goin to Vuongs....they've given me the best offer so far...

[Vteckidd]

Talk to Vuong, he does good work an gets it done FAST.

Why the hell would a strut need to be cut? That's beyond me. I could take a look at it and probably do it though if you are in the atlanta area.

not the strut that needs to be cut, i think its the bump stops. but, the directions im reading are for a year 2000 and up sunfire....ive got a 1996. Idunno if its different or not, but i dont think i'll hafta cut anything, actually, cuz it didnt specify ''some modification required'' on the NOPI e-cat, like it does for certain other coilover setups. If theres no cutting required, and if i can get my hands on a spring compressor for free, then this job SHOULD be a piece of cake!:goodjob:

Does anybody know where i can borrow a spring compressor *for free*??

[madking411]

oh, and the spring perch needs to be cut too...according to the DIRECTIONS...

[The BUCKY]

voung can do it for a good price and quick

Go to auto zone, you have to pay a $40 deposit and you get all of it back when you bring it back, all you need is the receipt.
