Anyone know of a good(trusting) place to install a set of springs for my Z, located anywhere in SD or in Orange County?

 

if you dont mind driving i would take it to street image i heard they do a really fine job on install ....

I would definitely consider the drive up to Street Image. Jeff and his crew recently installed a set of Tein S-tech springs on my 03, and the change in ride is better than I expected. Great prices, professional job and attitude, and nice guys as well.

 

In orange county....I know a place that you can go to.....Discount Tire centers on Warner Ave. Cross street is Beach. 405 and exit beach....make a right and continue until warner make a right...its on your left....Do a great job and also do a lot of tuning there. I got mine installed there

 

Can you install the springs yourself at home if you've got jackstands?

 

thanks for coming by for the install.

hopefully you like the eibach prokits.

Remember to get your alignment in 2 weeks.

Guys,

I have never lowered my car before. But i remember in the old days when my brother lowered his car using the welding technique (shrink the spring), the car was like ****.

What are the pros and cons of using the current available springs for lowering of the car? Worn out tire easily? what else?


Thanks,
Tony

 

I must say, I can't give anything other than a positive feedback for these guys, the springs have finally set in place, and the ride is a lot better. Thanks Jeff!

Can springs be installed yourself on jackstands? Or do you need specal tools to do it?

I thought a compression tool is a must for springs install but correct me if I am wrong..

 

Gents,

For any Z owner interested in qualified, quality suspension work, please contact Pat Soffe at PSR Performance Group in Wildomar (off the I-15, Bundy Canyon exit Temecula Valley area). His contact number is (951) 471-8609. He just finished installing a set of the brand new Tokico 16-way adjustables with the Eibach Pro-kit springs in Roger Wright's (anyone2u) 350Z.

Pat's background was a 10 year stinch as R&D technician at Eibach Springs then he moved on to Hyperco, a company that distributes springs to NASCAR and now he owns PSR. At PSR he fabricates SCCA spec rollcages and does full-time R&D for German spring manufacturer Vogtland.

He knows these cars inside out. I personally have worked with Pat on several project vehicles over the years and he is meticulous! I recommend you give him a call to discuss your needs.

you are right the "correct" way to remove your stock springs is with a Spring compressor, but not a lot of shops have that tool.

Street Image take the utmost care in removing/installing your parts. So we have a spring compressor at our shop to remove your stock springs.

A lot of shops will just eject the spring using a wall to hold the shock on one side and an air wrench to get the top off and let the spring fly... It's soo dangerous.... doing it that way.

What's the $ and about how long does the install take to just change out the springs?
