SPRINGS & SWAYS installed at Park Avenue Acura today
I spent the morning chatting with the infamous Jens at Park Avenue Acura and watched as he disassembled and reassembled my car in front of my eyes.
THIS GUY IS GOOD.
After doing so many spring/sway installs there, I think he could probably do this blindfolded if he wanted to.
I’m very happy with the work performed and if they weren’t 90-miles away they would be my dealer for ALL services.
After the install and several road tests I was on my way with a bagful of goodies including a T-shirt, Hat, Clock & Calendar.
STOCK SETUP
STOCK SPRING
COMPTECH SPRING BY WHEEL
COMPTECH ARE GRAY – STOCK ARE BLACK
COMPRESSING THE FRONT SPRINGS FOR INSTALL
NEW REAR SPRING IN PLACE
FRONT
TOP OF FRONT SPRING
SWAYS, NEW AND OLD
FRONT SWAY BAR
FRONT SWAY BAR
REAR SWAY BAR
WHEELS ARE BACK ON - ALMOST DONE
ALIGNMENT TIME
CAR IS ON THE “RACK”
The car ran GREAT on my 90-mile trip home.
VERY glad I did this MOD.
SWAY BARS make a BIG difference on the country roads by my house.
Look for my other post later on with several exterior photos.

Very nice Shawn. I'm sure you are enjoying your ride even more now with the Wheels/Suspension upgrade. Looks great!!
I just installed my spring's last Friday in my driveway. It was pretty easy but man.........I wish I had this (below) instead of a manual spring compressor with all the turning I had to do with my hand's and arm's
.
Your right though, I'm sure Jen's could do in blind folded
