??? for people who got spings installed at a Acura Dealer
How much did they charge? My local dealer told me on the phone that they would not install Comptech spings. Today i was there and they told me they would, but i havent got a price yet. I was just curious to see what other Acura dealers around the country are charging.

Mine said a 3 hour job * $75/hr...so about 225 or so. IMHO it wasn't worth it to get them to install it...which is why I did it myself. Go grab a friend and pay him $20 and get him to help you...you can do it yourself.

Holy crap guys...you'd pay 3-4x as much as you did for springs to have em installed? Especially those sways...that was like a 20 minute job...most of which was spent jacking up the car! Man...I wish you guys had come over here...I would have installed em...charged you half as much...and used all that extra money to be some headers
. Come on people...DIY or don't do it at all ![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Well i dont know what my dealer will charge yet but i do have some people that said they will do it. All for less than $150, one guy that i know even would do it for free, its just that i dont know if i trust them to start taking part of my car apart.

Even if I got an alignment, I still come out cheaper than Shawn. Although, as I say, unless your car CAME misaligned, there shouldn't be a reason to get an alignment just getting the comptech springs and sways installed unless for some magical reason my car just happened to come out right and it doesn't always happen that way. ![Dunno](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
I had no tire wear problems. I did get an alignment after my coilovers went on though because the toe was whack and of course the uncorrectable camber which isn't too bad at my height, I just need to rotate the tires more often.

Mine told me once that they dont install them
they said they did a CL a TL and a NSX and they all had noise problems so they dont fool with them anymore. Bastards...I wonder what the problem was cuz I am sure non of you guys have noise problems...right?

No need for alignment unless you've been hitting curbs and potholes like crazy.

If you dont believe us ask any mechanic or import shop. After dropping your car you should always get an alignment.

Mr Hyde:
Although an alignment may be a good preventative measure...as is when you hit a serious curb...both systek (Rick) and I have dropped our cars...brought it in for an alignment, and been well within spec...so yeah I agree it's a good measure...but not necessarily needed.

p.s. - nice to see you on here bud
Glad we have some good people coming over.
