Anyone know of a good shop to install shocks/sprinsg in the South FL area?
The last set I had instaled at Velocity Resources in Orlando, which is no longer in business.

Thanks

In Boca I would go to the Jap Shop. They are awesome and helped me out with both of my cars. They are off Spanish River Blvd. The quality of work is excellent.

Maybe I'll make the time...............

Jap Shop quoted me:
$195 front
$195 rear
+ tax
= $413.35
And doesn't include alignment

Guess I'll shop around some more.

I started to do it myself and the stupid bolt that holds the sway bar on has a hex in the end of it, and that stripped out on me when it was half way off....i forgot the rust factor....

GO TO JAPTRIX, its in lake worth, I've done shocks, springs, and headers there and customer service is great. The guys there are great and do high quality work!
I paid $188 for springs/shock install.

No problem, I guess their pricing got a little more competitive, they do nice work, I think you'll be satisfied. It was a bitch for them to put on the alpha werks, but they made it happen!

Go to Horsepower aka Prestons right past powerline on copans rd. Great shop, I got mostly everything done there, and very affordable.

I say do it yourself. It's so freakin' easy and it'll save you your $160. If you do it yourself, following NiteQwill's DIY guide, you'll be so pissed at yourself for even thinking of paying someone else to do it, it's THAT easy. If you have air tools, or access to them, that will make it a total breeze too. Like spdy0001 said, it can easily be done within an afternoon. If I had to do it again, I'd be willing to bet I could have it done (with buddy help and air tools) in under 2 hours, easy.

Do it yourself, dude!

BTW: This is all coming from a guy who's afraid to attempt his headers on his own...

It's not the $$ to me. It's my time. If I did it, it wouldn't be done for months. I have side jobs every weekend in January, as well as NYC trips in Feb. Plus my regular job on weekdays.
I'd like to install them. I did my headers & I know these would be easy for me.
