dude, do springs yourself. its SO easy. there is a bunch of diy's on here. forreal. dont pay someone to do something you can do yourself so easliy.i did coilovers on my del sol at a gas station stall hahaha

 

Sometimes things you think are easy are not easy to someone else. I would tell everyone to build their own computer but some people don't even know what components they need to build it.

 

True to that ^^^ . But i think i am going to try and save myself $150 by doing it myself or try and find out how much they charge here to do it.

 

wow that really sux and i get tired of the whole well it will be $xx to fix or replace something then when you get the final bill you get the " oh well it took longer than we thought it will be $$$$ instead of $$...bs! you the mechanic or expert you should know bout how long it will take...
sorry that you got a scratch so early on your fit that sux

 

shes in the body shop today. Ill pick her up tomorrow. The guy said he was going to have to paint and clear coat the entire fender. Well, at least the bill goes to the tire shop and not me

 

i remember when i had my 98 Sentra, i bought some Eibach lowering springs (took it down 1.5 inches) and went to a Tire and Rim place to get installation pricing...dude told me $700 , i crap you not...wide eyed i asked him why and he gave me some shlock about how after the installation they would have to do all this work to make sure my alignment is okay and that it would take hours and hours to install at all four corners...THANK GOD i didn't listen to that a**hole, my sisters boyfriend (whom is technically inclined and owns a sweet Del Sol equipped with Integra GSR motor...a sick ride) installed the springs for free and it took him about 2 hours total work time (with a few 30 minute breaks here and there). most places that do this sort of work will eat you alive if they get the impression your uneducated for this kind of thing...like a shark to a drop of blood in water, they can smell you lack of education from a mile away...i hate vampires like that.

 

i've decided, that from now on if i CAN do it....i WILL do it myself...such as my future header install and so on, but if its something i CAN'T do...then i'm fine, because i've several friends who are VERY into this sort of thing...some of them build drag cars from the ground up, some messing with a little Fit is childs play for them.

 

plus....its amazing what friends will do for ya when ya buy em a 12 pack of beer....the good stuff of course

 

none of my friends are mechanically inclined

 

came back from the body shop today, it looks great Thanks for the support
