Spring and shock install
 
I live in jacksonville but commute to Tampa often, usually driving through Orlando. The dealership quoted me 700 to install springs of which 2 are already on the shocks and the other two have to be compressed. Thought that was insane. I'm a student and a friend hooked me up with the suspension after he switched to coils. Is anyone interested in doing the install for me for some cash on the side or possibly teaching me and help me and maybe go out to dinner after on me. Let me know, they are swift springs with factory shocks just sitting in my garage. Really wanna get them on. Thanks

I payed 400 to have Nismo Springs put on one of our Z's (from the dealer). 700.00 is a rip off. I cant tell do you have struts too? Maybe thats why it cost more. Just have them put the springs on.

I got a quote on a similar job just a week ago and it was $400 with the alignment.

I got a quote for $300, $75/corner... I am more friends with the mechanic now, so I assume $200, and I have lifetime alignments!

3-450... installed and aligned properly would be the good fair price.

We're doing it next Tuesday I have some fast intentions resonated test pipes I have to instal and I need to clean up my brakes before I get my new wheels on there as well.

Tuesday next week Oh no! I have work. I might not make it then.

Zoren next Tuesday is cancelled. Now it's looking like Friday November 9. You could stay the night too because the next day is a huge car show and cruise with my club in Jacksonville for my going away party.
