Important new Bulletin, and is this cheap
I took my car today into Oakland Acura for Routin Oil Change. And manager told me there is a new bulletin regarding to our front seats back that have potential to get loose. Therefore, he would install reinforce brackets under warranty. They are always great for my service I wonder anyone else on this board also use them? In addition, I asked them if they can install custom shock and lower for me without any warranty hassel. He said he could do it for $850 (Comptech with installation). How is the price? Please Comment.

whats the $850 include? u said "custom shock"? if its CT springs and konis and labor, $850 is decent. if its just CT springs and labor, then we know someone who can do your install for a bill and u save urself $450+. if warranty is an issue and u need it done by the dealership, cant help you there...

trying to get a lil V-I
hmmm...that's a new one. I'll have to ask my service manager the next time I see him.
Also, the price for just the Comptech Spring install is way too over priced. The springs are ~$300 so you're looking at $550 for install...way too much. I would encourage trying to do it yourself. It's really not that hard, but just time consuming (four wheels). If you don't want to go that route, I suggest an aftermarket shop that's reputable in your area. Should be around $150-$200 tops for install.

tell him to come down.
Tell him to come down at least to $650 and you will be doing good. Springs $350, Install plus alignment $300 at most

My 01 CLS is going in this coming Thursday for the front brake rotors. My front passenger seat back is suffering from exactly what you mentioned. Do you have a TSB number for that seat back problem? If I knew before this Thursday that would be nice! Thanks in advance

front seats back that have potential to get loose
The whole seat back comes loose? Or the cover that is on the back of the seat comes loose? Cause my drivers side cover on the back of my drivers seat came off. I was able to push it back on, but still no reason it should have come off.

You can barely see it, but basically, the cushion and the back panel are not flush together, as if one's been pulled from the other.
I hope so, because that annoys me about my passenger seat!
