Long story short, my 97' was flooded out back in oct. and i've been thinking of the best thing to do to stand out. Six grand saved later, I believe i'm h22'n the bitch with full suspension and brakes. My ? is do you think its worth installing everything in the driveway and save some money or hand it over to a shop and avoid a few headaches?

Here's the list...

-tein basics
-spc camber
-front/rear sways
-front/rear tie bars
-rear tie bar
-front susp. brace
-pads & rotors all the way around
-plus the h22

can it be done for six grand"

 

if you do all the installs yourself, maybe

 

gonna cost you over that if you get it done at a shop... installation charges will own you

 

sounds like a nice list there, hope you follow through with it. but like the others said self installation is key.

 

self install,anything you do is less out of pocket.i usually diy until i f*ck something up where i need professional help to fix.i got connections and labor is still a b*tch.good luck

 

Diy > *

 

 

do it ur self. ive onli been 17 for like 2 weeks. and i installed everything myself, including my coilovers which are tein basics also. Recently i just did my spc anchor bolt kit. Buh uh yea that didnt turn out well......(alignment issues) buh other than that everythings good.

you mite need a shop for the h22 swap though and for the rotors because i herd u need a special machine to get it off.

 

where are you located?

 

why you guys being so hard on him? everyone can dream cant they?

 

Who's being hard on him? It's gonna be hella cheaper (and quite possibly within his budget) If he can install 80-90% of that stuff on his own... only things I can really see being an issue is the engine swap and rotors if he's not familiar with that kind of thing...

good luck with everything and keep us updated...
