Default Any recommendations on a coilover install?

I do remember "Whitetrack" getting his coils installed at XXTuning if I recall but I was wondering if any other Mass people know of any reputable tuners or shops that would do the install. I only know of good Bmw shops

Thanks
Jeff

It is costing between 2K to 2.5K for the Tein Flex coilovers, EDFC plus installation. If you’re lucky you might get it for 1.9K all in all; which was the lowest that I priced it at.

Nissan dealerships locally charge around $90/hour for labor. Did you clarify with Paul, how many hours he’d need for the entire install. FYI, if I am not mistaken, Avalon Racing are more partial to JIC and/or HKS.

I would suggest that before you go below 2K, you know the installers well. Sometimes it does not pay to save the few hundred dollars, for the workmanship.

Do you know the installation cost at the BMW workshop?

Jeff, you may want to check with B&D Motorsports in Stoughton. They put my Borla exhaust on for a "decent" price and they seemed to know what they were doing. 888-904-6464.

We sell and install Tein as well. On road course testing we prefer the JIC as the cars handled much better.
