The shop www.zahntechauto.com said it took them 5.5 hours for the job, because they said that they had to remove the complete rear suspension components to install the springs...

I even discovered a new chip on my rear passenger door....

5.5 hours for a professional shop to swap the springs!!!!

Anyway, all is done and it won't help anything to regret going there. I am happy with how the car looks and handles..

Pics to come...

 

Corners right

 

Dude, don't go to sleep until we see pics!!! I'm sure you are going to like it as much as I do. It handles like a different car!!

Enjoy!

 

Damn I wish i could show pics, but i have the ugly stock wheels on

 

It's already dark outside - hey, maybe I will take some night photos! j/k

I will take some photos tomorrow after work.

I am seriously considering Enkei SC05 18's. The cost of tires go way up with you upgrade from 18's to 19's. Plus I would think the ride quality should be retained by 18's. Also, the high performance all season tire I want "Potenza RE960AS Pole Position" doesn't come in 245/40/19....

When the temperature is up I will hopefully get started on fixing the chips. I got all the material (sanding paper, compound, polish, etc)...

 

I got mine installed at Leschwab and they only put 2,5 hr labor for it.
They did not remove the entire rear suspension.

 

Any Leschwab shop should be able to install springs?

 

Yes, they should be able to.

 

We have no patience. Pics! 5.5 hours? They charge you book time?

 

Can we get some pics?

 

Here you go!

 

Looks good, especially with those stealthy wheels on it! How's the ride, compared to the OEM?

 

The stealthy wheels hopefully won't be on for too long. The ride quality is really good. I would say that the springs are probably 5%-10% stiffer than the OEM. It is really not noticeble at all!

 

Looks good!

 

not noticeble?

It felt a lot more stiffer to me on turns

 

What you are referring to is the sensation of improved handling - crisp, sharp, accurate, not "stiffer on turns".

We were talking about the ride quality being retained, and not harsh, or stiff.

 

Looks good... even with the stock wheels!
Good job UW!!

 

I have a set of H&R sport springs on my 2000 Accord Coupe. They make really good springs, giving the right look and feel without sacrificing comfort. I'm quite happy with my H&R springs.

BTW, do you have any before after side by side pics? or just a straight side shot???

 

Looking good!

Ahum. New wheels. STAT!

Someone had to say it.

 

is there a camber kit for our car????? i'm sure you have some camber problems like i do and there has to be a kit somewhere. Has anyone already purchased one?

 

Thanks Green!

 

I don't.... but if you do a search you should be able to find another member's photos..

 

I don't think they made one yet.
Did you get your alignment also?I think the rear like - 2 degree after lowered with the H&R springs.

Btw looking good UW! now it's time for wheels.

We should do photoshoot together.

 

did u just put h&r sport on ur stock suspension??..i was thinking about a new suspension too..but didnt know whether to go with the a-spec or just put the h&r springs on..???

 

Looks good even with stockers. Nice stance.

 

Looks good.

 

UW RL, you know you can multi quote right? Just click on the icon next to the quote button and you multi quote as much as you like after clicking on New Reply. Car is looking really sharp!

 

UW RL, what % tints are those?

 

Nice looking ride~

 

I haven't gotten the alignment yet, I was thinking of getting it after I upgrade the wheels... Photoshoot, sure thing!

Yup, H&R springs only. The stock dampers are really good. I had Comptech springs on my previous TL for 6 years without a problem with stock dampers.

35% all around.

 

Hey, I'm in the Bellevue area too and I need a good recommendation on a tint shop. Mind if I ask where you had it done and how much it cost?

Looks great!

 

Accutint in downtown Bellevue did a great job. There number is 425-213-1060. I paid 400 bucks for the Pinnacle ceramic tint.
