Im waiting for the springs to come in now, but I paid 480 for the springs and install.Is this good? How do I know if they messed up after the install?

 

How do you know if they messed up? Ohhh, trust me, if they MESSED UP, you'd know!

It's pretty hard to mess up the spring install if you take it to any reputable shop. It's just a matter of taking off the original and slapping on the new ones. (Well, it's a bit more complicated than that, of course!) Anyway, only thing I can think of that they could do that is potentially harmful to your car would be that they didn't fit the rear seat back in place correctly.

Or if the installer was a moron, he might cut the brake line accidentally and not realize it!! j/k

Happy driving!

Why didn't you get the spings from Snook? He has the cheapest price. Oh, I think $480 installed is too much.

How do you like those ground controls? How do they compare to the Comptech springs alone, if you've experienced both.

Thanks

The Ground Control rides fine, but i think Comptech rides better because it's not as stiff as GC. I haven't experienced Comptech so i'm not too sure. One thing i like about GC is that you can go any height you want, you can slam it all the way down or raise it back to stock height.

Hi! I have the ground control too. but

because I have a very heavy system in my

trunk so I special ordered the spring on the

coil overs. now I have 550lb/in in the front

and 450lb/in in the back. The regular one is

425lb in the front 275lb in the rear and is

too soft....the spring will hit if I go

though a dip or a railroad about 35 to 40

mile/hr, but after I change them it works

fine and help in conering too...

Oh, I see. If you plan on modding your car more, it may not be a bad idea to get like a checkcard from your bank. It works just like a Visa/MC. I swear, Snook really, really has the cheapest prices. If you order more than once from him, believe me, he'll hook you up. Look at my sig, see how much shit I bought from him. Why? Let's face it, I could go to the internet and look for like hours to find cheaper prices, but why when Snook will have better prices anyway and repeat customers get HOOKED UP! Ask anyone that bought from him more than once. Plus he gives you straight up answers!

KUMO - you ordered special spring rates for your setup. I was wondering if anyone who has a system should go with your spring rate setup or only if the system is REALLY heavy.

thanks

PhiTL- I not really sure, My system in the trunk is approximately 150lb, so I don't know if it will do anything good on the others. but the spring rate is kind of too much in my rear. so if you want. maybe you try for 375lb in the rear. for the front it is just perfect so I think you can go for that for sure. because it is way better the the one that come with it. If you don't belive me you can check out yourself. get a flash light and check the gaps between the spring it is really close to each other. so it will hit easily if you go to the place with bumpy roads.

My local speed shop Hi-Tech Motorsports installed my Neuspeed sport springs for $85. They really charge $100 for the TL, but since me and my cousin have alot of work done there he gave me a discount. I really love the drop

 

$100 for the install for me.
