Question comptech spring question

Maybe it's been covered already (sorry if that's the case), but I was thinking of lowering my car with Comptech springs.(realized how my car looked more like a SUV than a sport-sedan after a meet)

Mr.Hyde told me Parkave Acura in NJ does a good job.
Don't remember the exact $$$


I'm in NY/NJ/CT area.
Does anyone have any info on installation charge and where to get'em installed?

Thanks

For the springs and labor : $ 518.95 + tax

I heard that if you install it from them, they will honor the factory warranty on the springs and shocks. (4yrs or 50k miles)

I would definitely recommend them. I had great experiences w/them and I heard others speak highly of them.

Does anyone know someone in the Dallas area that will do it and still warranty it? David McDavid quoted me at a little over 650 JUST for labor! I dunno, but that's kinda steep if you ask me.

Go to a shop that sells springs, and just BS with them... ask them what it takes to install them. I bet you and a friend could install them yourselves if you had a spring compressor (you can rent it from a shop for $10), and can get the tires off the ground.
$650 is steep for springs AND install. For that much money, you can get springs and sways. Sways aren't too hard to install. From what I hear, installing Comptech sways on the TLS is only a little hard on the front.
Are you planning on getting new shocks? If you 'plan to', I would say do it at the same time as the springs; cuts down on install cost. Shouldn't add much to the spring install if anything, because the have to get in there, anyway.
