Atlanta lowering spring install

solteroblues · 10-05-2016, 08:16 PM

I know there's an old thread like this, but I hate resurrecting old threads like that...

Anyone recommend an inexpensive shop to install lowering springs? I know I could do it myself, but I don't have the time or the tools to do it... plus I'm getting too old to crawl under a car like that! haha!

I contacted a couple of places, but I got quotes from $600 to $1100 to install them, labor only!

All of the searches I've found have people saying I should be able to get them installed for $100 or so, but none of those were Atlanta... I can't believe that Atlanta would be that much more expensive than any other location!

Z1 Motorsports?

thank you for the suggestions. I put in a request to join the ZAtlanta facebook group over a week ago but haven't been approved yet.

I called Z1 but the guy that could tell me wasn't in. I go there tomorrow to pick up some parts, so I'll ask again, but I expect them to be on the high side.

I'll call that other place tomorrow, too.

I just don't understand how it could vary so much! I mean $100 vs $600 or $1100?

One shop asked me, "Why in the world would you want to go screw up the ride of that car?"

I want to thank everyone who helped out here... especially the ZAtlanta group and their facebook page. I was able to find someone (long drive, unfortunately) for a great price
