Installation on Comptech Parts

Hey guys,

I will be picking up some Comptech springs and a Comptech axle-back exhaust next week and am calling different dealers around for installation costs. The best price I have found is $475.00 to install everything including a 4-wheel alignment. Is this price fair or is the dealership asking for too much???

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Not a horrible price.... Park Ave Acura in NJ would charge $407 for the same installations ( http://www.parkaveacura.com/comptech...t.htm#Comptech ) so you may want to keep calling to see who will come lower. Or... print out the sheet from PAA's site, just don't tell your local dealers which Acura dealer it's from... and have them match it


My advise would be to install the exhausts yourself. They are a DIRECT swap from the stock exhausts and take about 20 min. to install. Not worth paying to have this done IMO.

Wow I would totally do that for you for so much less than that. The mufflers are extremely easy to do, don't worry about that. The springs aren't very hard either, a couple hours max. In fact I'll do it for half of the best price you can find... unless allmotor chimes in and takes away my business Oh and you'll want to drive around a couple days to let the springs settle before getting an alignment anyway ($69 @ Acura). Let me know...

Don't forget the lube, that sounds like it might hurt

I didn't even read your post! Haha... I hate doing springs, but the exhaust is cake.

I'll stick with Headers, Turbo and S/C installations

I knew you couldn't resist working on another Acura

The turbo install was actually quite easy. Much easier than a S/C install I'd think...
