How much are you guys paying for coilover installation? i spent the better part of the morning trying to find places, and the cheapest i found so far is 300$

 

most shops average between 2-300 for installation.

 

wow..thats expensive! I usually see about 100-150 at most.

 

Paid $200 in MASS.

 

I paid $200 In Mass. Place called RPM motors in SALEM ,MA. They are the best. I drove 60+ miles just to get there.

 

diy... all you need is a basic set of hand tools. no time to learn like the present.

 

^ took me like 3 hrs the first time..it was actually easier than i thought. like STODDA said..all you need are your basic hand tools.

 

i agree diy and save yourself the money.....and with the money u saved buy more mods.

 

Yeah but if you get SSP's (Like me)

You're gonna want the job done right, as in wiring through the wiring harness and through the firewall, and believe me man, that's more than "200-300" dollars. I had to pay 1000 from the Acura Dealership (ACE Dealership too!!!) and it was well worth it.

Non-electrical coilovers are straightforward and you can save yourself a buck.

 

Freee when you do it yourself!!!!Very easy DIY

 

lol shit... it took me 5+ hours for the front
and then 2 days for the rear
i suck.

 

thats exact;y why im paying somone to do mine

 

wow..$1k??!??! that is expensive! you could of had a friend of two help with just the install of the coilovers and have a pro install the edfc. could of saved $700 or so.

 

Took me like 1 hr 45 min to swap out my shocks by myself. Hondas are about the easiest car i have come across for doing it.

 

comming from the guy who does 6spd swaps.




J/K!!

 

haha, im not too car savvy. It's in the best interest of my car if I take it to someone else and do it. and dont you need like a spring compressor?

 

OMG, not gonna call you for my next suspension work My buddy did my coilovers in the rain for $100

 

its just a few bolts. And yes it takes spring compressors. You can rent them from autozone or buy them for like 30 bucks

 

haha for some reason eveyrthing i do either takes me 2-3x longer then average person, or i always have left over bolts. LOL
headers took me 9-11 hrs by myself
the front suspension i did with a friend and it took a whole night..
the rear i did myself, i didnt think to remove the sway bar so that got in my way, and i stripped the damn top mount on the stock strut.

 

but im sure if you were to do it again you could do it in 1/2 the time. live and learn mang

 

sounds like we have the same luck. everything always take longer for me on my car. my suspension took a 2nights -lol about 8-9 hrs total. but we did my friends accord the other day and it only took a few hours. i changed one side brake pad and then the other side got stripped so i now have one new and one old untill i take it to a shop...

 

you dont need to remove the rear sway bar just the endlink is fine.

 

man these install prices are so cheap!

Mine (Audi) was 450 or more.

I did it myself, its very easy to work on japanese cars.

 

Wow.. $300. how about you give me $100 and ill slap it in for you. I swaped my apexi to k sports in about 45 mins .

 

you dont necessarily need spring compressors. when i did mine, i just took the whole assembly out and when i got the coils in i went down the block to a shop and slid the guy $15 to take the top hats off

any shell or chevron with a garage should have the air tools to do it. they didnt even use a spring compressor when they did it either, just air tools and about 15 seconds lol

 

Anyone have a DIY for the installation?

 

i think nytequill has a DIY on the CL boards.

 

1st time i change out my spring took me 2 hour. After 6 month later i change out my shock an strut this time took me 1 1/2 to do it. It not hard to do. Just give it a shoot an have some buddy help you out.

Which coilover system you getting?

 

I paid $150.00

 

I paid 120 for shock and coilover sleeve install

 

hey Nguyen, youre in houston. where did you get to get the install? im going to be back there over the summer

 

I paid 50.00 per strut. No lift charge and it took about 2 hrs(had trouble getting the rear seat out).

 

May I ask what your talking about Were talking about putting in coils right? NON electrical coilovers? $1k ? Sorry, I am interested in putting in coils or coilovers. Do you need coil compressors? I did a lift kit on a front end of a 2004 TRD Tundra 4x4 4 door limited and it WAS a COMPLETE NIGHTMARE!!!!!

 

I WAS thinking of just Einbach coils to lower 1", but so many comments on wearing out stock shocks. What is the best coilover to lower 1" and keep ride pretty nice? Don,t need an Indy car for the streets. I just want to lower my 07 TL-S 1" and make it handle a little better without making it hard like my 1983 Firebird WS-6. I would like to get an all-in-one coil and shock. Many people talk about getting 1 brand of coil, and a diff brand of shock. I just want to get what is the best for my needs all-in-one. I was considering Acura A-Spec coilovers, but not sure if they will give me a definate 1" lowering??? Some say 1/2"???
