Spring installation shops in MA

Does anyone know of anybody who installs Springs and shocks in Massachusetts that won't charge an arm and a leg?

do it yourself or have Taimyshu do it for $70. a fair price from a shop is $150-$200 and then count on another $5 for alignment.

I had mine done at RPM Motorsport on Brighton Ave in Boston when I had my TL. Not sure what I paid. Ask for Eddie if you call and tell him Ben w/ the TL told you to call...Hopefully he remembers the amount of business I gave him

RPM did my A4 for $150 without alignment

they did it quick adn did a good job. They are great guys there, the shop is a bit ricey, but they have always treated me weel. Let me do a group buy on wheels through them that no one else in the country would do. The north american distributor wouldn't allow gb's, but RPM stepped up for me.

From experience I can tell you that RPM was very good. They did quality work at a fair price. I have heard rumors about RPM stealing rims from their customers, but IMO that is BS. I have not heard one confirmed report of this. Choice is yours though.

I didn't know that there were so many guys on this board in the Boston Area. I'm at BU now, and RPM motorsports is riht near my dorm.

As for the Spring install, I would watch and learn for TaimyShu. I did the install myself with a friend. If you guys ever have a meet let me know.

yeah, It's a lot easier than you think...just get a spring compressor from Autozone.
