Default Installation Help

I have a couple aftermarket parts that I have laying in my garage, that I need to install on my G35 (Tein Basic's and Stillen sways).

I installed my springs before on my own, and it was a process I don't want to go through again! With that said, I would be willing to pay for someone who has experience installing suspension components to do this for me.

Anybody out there? Name your price.

Thanks!

Where is here?

I've got a garage, jack stands, jack, but my sockets suck so you would need to bring your own tools.

Oh, and how much?

Thanks

I actually live in San Bruno. Your slammed car will be able to maneuver fine there (I'm 1/2 mile from the freeway).

I'd like to do this ASAP, but of course it depends on your availability.

Thanks!

I need someone to install a set of springs for me too, and of course im willing to pay. Also need to get my fenders rolled first as I will surely rub with the springs on. But probably after the new year...

Ok Vodka rocket's car is all done.
took about 2 hours for coilovers and sway bars while i was still pretty much half asleep..
Let me know who else needs parts done to their car.
And in terms of the pulley's i would have to take a look at the directions and see how much time it will realistically take.

Thanks again Josh! My car rides so much better now.

I would highly reccomend Josh for any of your installs. He knows what he is doing, has the proper tools, does it efficiently, and charges fairly!

Pulleys are quick...just make sure you have someone there to help you. It takes longer to get the car up on jackstands than actually installing the pulleys.

i'd have to take a peek at the instructions.. i do have various pulley pullers... so that isnt an issue there.. just gotta see how much time it will really take and does any coolant need to be drained.

glad you liked my work =) i tried my best to get u out of there on time =) hehehe. just sucks that the alignment shop was all full

No problem- I went to the shop next door to Auto Innovations for the alignment, and they told me they can do it. After waiting for an hour, they told me they were afraid to touch my car.

I ended up taking it to a place near my house- now I'm running -3.0 negative camber in the rear, and about -1.8 in the front.

Do you also know how to roll fenders? Because I need to get that done first before I lower my car.

No pulley pullers needed...it comes off easily when it's loose. As far as coolant...???
