NOVA TL'S (Springs)

People in or near Northern VA, where have you gotten your springs installed? Also how much did you pay? Happy with their work? I've been looking around and the cheapest I could find was 200 bucks for installing my H&R sport springs. Any help appreciated!

Frogger, your in luck. I just had my H&r's installed for $125 down in woodbridge at Quality Tire. They are great. I know the guy from high school, but i dont think he hooked me up with a deal. So go down there and get them installed, it took them like an hour and was in and out with a tight ass supension. let me know when you would come down and maybe we could meet up! I dont know anyone in NOVA area with modded TLS. What year is yours??

125?! That's way cheaper than anyone else I've talked to. For that price, are you sure he actually installed the springs rather than blow out your tires to look lowered? Just kidding by the way...yeah I'll give them a call.
I have a 2002 NBP that I bought from Pohanka. I haven't really modded it other than putting some silverstar fog bulbs on and tinting the windows.
What have you done to yours?

I got 35% all the way around and I think it looks nice. Some people get the same with 20% in the back and that's probably good too.

By the way, I just called that place and he quoted me $200-225. He says that it's a lot harder to do than civics and integras. So it looks like you got hooked up after all!!

I talked to a Traffic Jamz here in Roanoke -- he said he'd do it for $150. I know that's probably to far for you but it gives you an idea. $225 seems like a lot.

Maybe if I was back at Viriginia Tech I would. Then again, I could barely afford Gumby's pizza while I was still in school.

well sorry to hear about the price, but that makes me feel good that he took care of me with the price. that seems to be alot. and yes they do have to compress our springs when they put them in unlike the ricers, so people can charge more with our cars. Its a *****! I graduated from Virginia Tech last may!!! Great school miss the gumbys pizza on the late drunk nights tho. hahah

i wouldnt recommend getting 35% .. i got it and kind of regret it now.. its just not dark enough in my opinion.. 20% on the other hand looks alot better.. just so you get an idea.. i got mine done for just under 2 bills ..
