Just got some springs and need to install them. Just wondering where people have gotten theirs done at. A bonus would be if i could get the car aligned there too.

 

i think any shop that does alignments will be able to install them for you

 

Sgp

 

Best place-my garage..
Wait a few weeks b4 getting the alignment. The springs have gotta settle first. Absolute Suspension in Tomball does really good alignment jobs and they have custom ramps for lowered cars. Only downfall is that it is by appointment only.

 

you've done them before?

 

yes, it's not that hard, just time consuming...

 

shouldn't take more than 2-3 hours with the right tools and a good jack

 

Yeah, we could do them at my place, but I don't have spring compressors for the fronts. Rears are super easy to DIY.

 

Its a PITA man. Southwest Alignment on Richmond (between fondren and dunvale) warrantees alignments on dropped cars. I took all my slammed cars there when they were off of Beverly Hills.

 

i know its not safe, but the z springs aren't that compressed, u don't need the spring compressors for the fronts imo, all u have to do is loosen it up a good amount then stand it up and put some pressure down on the strut mount and remove the nut by hand

 

those could come in handy..lol. what to do what to do. I want these bad boys on!

 

south west alignment sucks. those bastards charged me 130.00 and I knew it was a ripoff but after waiting for an hour and it was finally my turn I didn't care. the bad part is over the phone they quoted me 70 for a dropped car, then i get there and they changed it. F.uck them.

 

oh btw, auto zone lets u borrow spring compressors for free... i think or for a very small amount, i think they just take a deposit and give it back when u return them

 

Been going there for years....never charged me a dime over $59

 

You leave a deposit (cost of the tool) and then you get it back when you bring back the tool. Real cool deal they have.

 

they qouted me 70 a spring!

 

Oh, I never have springs done there....just alignments. SGP will put my springs/shocks in....SW Alignment will do the alignment.

 

It's not hard removing the fronts, but try installing the new ones without a spring compressor. That's a different story my friend

 

I seen that place. It's the one in the row of wharehouse with the paintings on the bldg walls, right?
