whats up guys, im looking to c if there is anyone in Westchesterm or surrounding areas, that knows how to lower a tl. i dont want to pay $250 at a shop to have them do it. was wondering if someone on here could help me out with this. im not looking to have anyone do it for free, but dont want to pay $250. thanks for you help in advance

 

umm.. $250 is not a bad price considering what has to be done to remove the rear strut/springs.

The entire rear seat needs to be removed to gain access to the top bolt for the rear suspension.

 

I paid $150. Removing the back seat is easy... you can do it in advance before getting the car lowered.

 

Yeah there are many reputable shops that will do it for $150 to $200 which is a reasonable rate. Im sure someone on this board will be willing to help, I know I would if I didnt have to study for my boards right now. I wouldnt even ask for any money.

 

you can ask Tripnbeats

 

I would pay you not to do it, lol j/k

Yep, definitely get in touch with Tripnbeats... where in NYC are you? I have a few shops in Bklyn.

 

250 to install springs is a steal. I would gladly pay that then have to spend hours doing it yourself. What is your time worth? If you have never done this before, plan on a 4-6 hour day.

 

250 damn great price....

cant help u on this one, 200-250 is a great steal

 

I paid $160 when I had my springs

 

what other car services does tripnbeats offer?

 

im in yonkers, i wasnt looking to pay anymore than $200. i would attempt to do it myself, but my only concern is that i dont have a spring compressor , other than that i think i can manage myselfg. but id rather have a pro do it. if anyone knows a shop for a reasonable price, shot me a pm with the name, thanks

 

I also like for a pro to do it, just in case there is a strip of the bolt that holds the arm, I've done that beforein my 00TL, and it wasn't fun. You don't want that shit to come lose when you hit a large enough bump....

I paid $150 to a shop locally... I guess the main worry I would have is the removal and the reinstallation of the rear seat, as they can easily scratch the plastic.. Since you are in Yonkers, you are def better of with Tripnbeats, you can't mess with his talent and dedication.

Trip, you can paypal me my comission, lol

 

you can rent spring compressors from autozone. that's what i did when i did my install. of course, make sure you get the strut style, as there will be two spring compressors.

can't help you with any shops though

 

I also think $250 is fair, it's the going price.

I just did my car last week and trust me, if it were me, I wouldn't charge someone less than $500 to do that much work!!

 

He wont respond, he is in Can-Ya-Duh!!!

But 250 is good. I got a quote from Acura here, they said 500. I was like go $*#$ a duck!!! Did Tein install with EDFC myself then

 

lol thanks guys.....i would love to do it....im in canada though....ill be here for the next 2 months =(

 

hit me up $250 with an alignment... eh eh eh can't beat that with a baseball bat

 

^now thats a savings right there.

 

Any crowbar involved?

 

dude if a crowbar wasnt involved how else would u get an alignment? lol
