Another option would be to ask LacViet about his Tein SS coils. Since they're blown and he's getting new ones, he might even just give them away to you. I said might.

Tein is in Downey, you can take it to them and if all it needs is an overhaul, the most it will set you back is $300.

Talked to Marcus and he said it'd be around $100 repair for each coil. I'm just going to save for some F&F Type I. Already halfway there.

Sell them.

You can start the for sale thread like this;

"wth, didn't i just buy this?

yes i did and little did i know that it'd be impossible for me to loosen the perch without the help of a shop. I don't have time to go to a shop and get this installed so I am gonna resell it."

I talked to Marcus (heeltoe) and did a little searching. From what I've learned so far, it would be $120 for each replacement. With that amount of money, I'd rather buy FF's for a tad bit more. I'll see what I can do temporarily with the coils I'll get from Huy as my FF's will have to come in May/June when I have more cash.

^ at least you're getting huy's coils for free i guess you'll have to use the rest of your money to get them repaired.. or just save up for the FF1s.

Lol, I actually MIGHT put Huy's on, depending on the life left of the shocks. I will never ride with blown shocks, even if it makes my car low as I want a smooth ride. My plan is to save 300 more for FF's. Already spoke with Thomas so I will definitely buy FF's.

Seriously Henry. Me, .... cheap? You're funny.

After you get the coils out of LacViet's car, take them to Tein in Downey and get a quote from them personally. The Tein SS' that I had in my previous car, had >100K miles on them, only cost me $300 ($75 each shock) to get it overhauled.

Heeltoe charges a $GRIP to do anything.

^I see your point there. However, I think I'll opt out on repairing the Tein's and buy FF's since I can get those for a bargain (new), thanks to a fellow AZ member.
