Keep your money and do it yourself its no big deal....

Not everyone wants to, or is inclined to do so. I have better things to do, and the convenience of having someone else do it, to me, is worth paying the money.

I got mine done by going to a honda tech directly in the back and asking if anyone needed extra work. I paid 250 for them to be installed... lowered to what i liked... SPC 3 arm kit installed and everything adjusted back to factory camber/toe with an alignment. I also had a transmission fluid replacement for that price.

thats a sweet deal lol

i'd get what he got, but if not, its usually 50 bucks a corner so 200 total or around there.

Better things to do? Well if someone buys coilovers, I imagine that is one of their better things to do, is work on their car.

I just think it's silly that people want to modify their car without learning how to do anything. What better way to learn your car than to tackle a DIY such as installing coilovers, especially when it's a pretty simple job.

Simple but what if he dont have tools

All you need is a jack, 2 jack stands and a socket wrench with 2 different sizes

If it was work on the side, did they do it at the dealership or somewhere else?

That's pretty much it. If you own a car, you should definitely have a basic set of tools. You can get a good mechanics set from sears for like 100 bucks or less. This is the perfect time to be shopping for tools with all these sales going on.

But anyways you will be looking at anywhere from 200-400 for installation.

dont be a lazy ass its really simple:thmsup:

 

[Danielc409]

And I know some people just aren't willing to do stuff like this .. but I at least try to encourage folks to try, like I said, it's a really good learning experience.

I agree its THE BEST learning experience... i didnt know anything about cars, but as soon as i got onto this forum i have learned a lot and from the DIY's i have done. I have to say that it is a learning experience if your willing to give it a shot! :thmsup: :yes:

 

[Throwdown]

Yeah, either way the approximations on the thread are about right. If a shop is doing it they would be more familiar than you might be, but good experience if you are willing to set the day aside for it.

Which coils are you looking to get? :naughty:

 

[Chocopie]

Naw, he did it at the shop after hours.

 

[vi3t4lif393]

Paid one of my friends $140 for coilover install, 3 arm camber install, and alignment. Since he works at firestone, he had everything he needed to get it done.

Yes, better things to do. I enjoy my car, and I enjoy purchasing things for my car. I don't particularly enjoy doing the things myself. If I have the money to burn to pay someone else to do it for me, I don't see why not. Some people like to DIY, and others don't. I'm one of the ones who don't. Different strokes for different folks.

You think it's silly for people to want to modify their car without learning how to do it themselves. I could just as easily say it's silly to waste their time and energy doing it themselves when they can pay some other guy to do it for them; why break a sweat when someone else can do it? But I understand that people enjoy doing it and it's a hobby. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

I fix human bodies, not cars.

--I plan on buying the COILOVERS from you...that set you sell for $699./MeganEZstreet, I could be wrong bout price, but I'm gettin them from you.& also getting 3-bar "camber' set & the adj."ball joint'...

 

[BPearl2010]

Rockman,


Installation of Coilover's is the most striaght forward install you can do.. It's really just Unbolt screws and re-bolt them that's it..

I have done like 5 coil-over installation already... Everyone likes to take advantage of me. lol..

If you were in my area i would help you install them..

Tools you need are

(2)Jack's.. Reason is because when you need to attach you coilover's you will need to need to jack suspension parts up..

Jack Stand "if you like Safety first"

Socket set, from 14mm to 17mm and a 10mm socket

Wrench Set, 14mm only
