- Your Dealer
- Local Honda Dealer
- Regional/National Chain (Firestone, Discount Tire/Tire Kingdom, etc)
- Local Indie and/or Honda-Acura Specialist
- DIY - which I Strongly recommend (find a friend or local A-Ziner with tools and/or experience).

Expect to pay at ~$300.

Your thread is being moved from the Performance Parts & Modifications subforum into the Suspension subforum. Please read the rules before posting in this subforum. Although springs are really a "performance" oriented product, the topic of where to get it installed does not belong here. The rules can be found here: https://acurazine.com/forums/announc...nouncementid=7

You prices are similar to what I saw here. The chains were closer to $350, otherwise similar.

I got rid of my 1-year olds a LONG time ago. Now they are actually old enough to help.

But as told above, the DIY is pretty straight foward. And there are two or 3 really good threads for this mod. If you give up on paying someone and decide to DIY, send me a PM and I'll link you to the DIY's and offer whatever advice I can.

Thanks for all the help people. After much thought I decided to shop around a little more and discovered a decent price. Wheel Works in Concord Ca is installing my H&R springs for 350 w/4 wheel alignment. For a while, I debated driving down to So Cal and having Marcus AKA Mr. Heel toe do the install but weather and the 10-hour round trip was a deterrent.

Next weekend I plan to start my carputer installation, so any insight will be welcomed!

Hey flux,

There are MANY people in SoCal who can help you out. But, I'll recommend aznbo187 to you. He's a vendor on this site, and did my suspension for me, personally. Great guy/great service. PM him, and you two can work out the logistics.

P.S.-One advantage: He's mobile
