Hey guys....i was wondering if there is anyone in connecticut that is willing to help me put my coilovers on...i will pay some money...i went to excelerate in branford and they want almost 500 dollars to install....please let me know....thank you

 

I forgot to say that im from derby,ct

 

might have more luck posting this in the regional section of the forum. good luck to ya!

 

excelerate wants 500 dollars to install? what a rip off thats basically the price of the basic coilovers

 

If u dont mind coming to jersey then I would give a shout out to the member on this board AckTL05

 

The install takes roughly 4.5 hours. The labor rate is $90/hr. That equals $400.

That being said, we are a brick and mortar store with overhead and payroll. We cannot perform services at a rate that a DIYer would charge. Also our labor rate is actually one of the lowest in the area. We guarantee our work and we have performed this job dozens of times.

 

They are not too bad to install. I would recommend a set of camber kits for at least the rear. We did a buddies TL and his tires were shot in like 2K miles. Also check out the 3G TL Garage. There is a DIY thread on these.

 

hey....how low is the recomended drop from tein on the tein basics???..

 

TEIN recommends 1.7" F&R but you can go up to roughly 2.5" F&R.

 

Did he get an alignment after? Because tires shouldn't go that bad just from camber. His toe is probably out of wack

 

4.5 hours to install these? Why? I did my springs and shocks with a help of a friends dad and in his garage, so no lift, in just under 4 hours. And we didn't know what the hell we were doing. Me, never worked on a car before, and him never working on the TL. I just printed off the DIY form here and we went at it.

 

did you take out ur back deck to get to the screws?

 

I don't think so. I think I only took out the rear seats.

 

^si, just take out the rear seats and u'll be able to get the 2 nuts

 

Sorry for bringing up a new thread, but I'm still somewhat new to this forum and cannot find this specified "3G TL Garage" with all the DIY stuff..

Someone please hook me up with a location!!
