in the valley let me know. my friend works out of his garage and does a very clean job. i think springs he charges like 80 bucks, and exhaust like 60 for midpipe/muffler and 80 for cat back. testpipes are also 80. test pipes and full exhaust 150

Wow $80 for springs...thats a good price. Does he have a spring compressor machine or does he do the compressor tool? If he's doing the tool your man is really working for his money! Bump for him!

sup guys. i finally signed up. first time didnt work for whatever reason.

but yeah here i am.

just some info on me...

i am NOT a trained professional.
i do the work out of my garage at home.
i do not have warranty/guarantees/etc like shops will have. BUT if it's something i did wrong, i'll fix it.
i've worked on several cars, doing mainly spring installs. i've worked on hondas/acuras, nissans, and toyotas.
i honestly do the work for fun. i charge, or should i say, barely charge, just so that i can make my time's worth. most of the stuff i do for cheap. if i charge more, it's because it's a PITA to do. (test pipes/hi-flow cats for example)

if you have any questions, go ahead and PM me.

for the requests i've seen:

test pipes - as much as i hate to do them (my first time was on a g35 and it took me 6 hrs, due to lack of knowledge about the car and part and lack of tools), my roughest guesstimate would be $100. once again, the more the PITA, the more i charge. so sometimes you might be best off paying a little more, getting it done faster and by a professional. up to you.

springs - $80

sways - honestly, havent done it yet. i'll be doing some research on how to do it. if you'd like to be my guinea pig, i'll do it for $40. first person only.

anything else, please PM me. it'll be a lot easier to manage.

thanks
BTW, i'm in the valley. sylmar to be exact. where the 210 and 118 meet.
