Lowering Spring Install.... Does anyone know...

Of a good shop in the Pasadena, San Gabriel, Alhambra, Rosemead area that will install them for a decent price... I have been quoted from $150 - $500 to get this done and its a COMPLETE RIP to pay almost triple what i paid for the springs...

or of you yourself can install them send me a price...

Thanks...

hmm well they quote for hour/labor from the booklet so $150 is right price to instal it.

unless u wanna do it yourself then thats free but if not then.. can try see is anyone can do it for u.

yea cause spring install counts as spring replacement or something like that in the booklet and so its not much on ripping you off its mainly they are charging you the correct price. but anything after i think 200 they just trying to take your money.

"01 civic spring instal $150"

so its like correct even tho the rears are easy as hell to do. but yea if u dont wanna do it yourself u have to dish out the cash...

thanks for letting me know you were a no show this morning. I could have spent my time doing something better than standing around with my thumb up my ass.

Try to install the rear spring yourself since it is quite easy. That might cut down the cost to just install the front springs.

you weren't the one doing the hunting, apparently you
have a hard time comprehending the messages and posts...
