Finally got my H&R coilovers thanks to aznbo187. I would like to know if anyone can recommend a good shop that has experience with the TL around LA area or San Fernando Valley (even better) Any help would be appreciated also pics if possible, I am looking to go as low as possible but without scraping everywhere or rubbing the tires. What is the average drop? how much $ will the install cost? I am on stock wheel but will put some 18" x 8.5 with low pro tires soon

 

congrats on the new suspension! i would say just go ahead and complete this install urself. there are many DIY on suspension related work here. i swapped my suspension twice and had never done it prior to this car. grab some buddies, some time, a cpl brews and ull save urelf some money and build some confidence in the modding realm. g' luck!

 

Isn't Mr HeelToe (Marcus) in the SoCal area?

 

Yeah he is but healtoe is a bit of a drive from the San Fernando valley. Why not just have Mike install them?

 

Maybe we can make a mini meet out of it?

 

i'm up for a mini meet!
any help is greatly appreciated

 

DIY? if you've worked on a civic, you can do a TL.

 

I can drop by to this mini meet and help out. I have these coilovers and installed myself oh and im around the sfv -_-

 

mini meet for suspension install?

i'm not down. =]

 

nice

 

I'd be down to see how the "pro's" do it, so when I get my suspension, I can install them myself.

 

do you have a garage?

 

Whatever you do, DO NOT GO TO F1 MOTORSPORTS.

Mini-meet sounds like your best bet honestly.

 

lol they will hammer it in

 

their customer service was horrible when I went there to ask for a quote

 

DIY ftw.

 

Coils are your best friend! does the H&R come with top hats?

 

nope you use stock

 

Boo, that means you have to compress! what a butt!

 

but if you do it my way.

you don't have to. =]

lol.

just wedge it somewhere.. un bolt the nut slowly and let it fly~~~


PING!@~!@~!

if you have it wedge correctly, nothing should fly off anywhere. =]

rears, you don't need spring compressor.

 

not recommended tho

i've done it twice. lol


wedged between wall outside and my wall(house)

 

Ya, for the rears you don't but for the front i would! yikes!!

 

rented an autozone spring compressor and i still had the spring shoot off

 

how low did you guys go on your cars?

 

flip_side

 

and it can go even lower

dont make the mistake I did and go easy on the drop. You'll get messages on your profile like this:

"monster truck 4x4 = fail"
"4x4 4x4 4x4 4x4 4x4 4x4 4x4 4x4 4x4 4x4 4x4 4x4 4x4 4x4 4x4 4x4 4x4"
"LOL 4x4 LOLOLOLOLOL!!!OLOL!!"
"""wat chu lookn at?"


your 4x4.. lol.."
"4x4"

 

^^^Looks so damn good

Gonna be weird to see Romeo's car with no VS-XX

 

Ahh dammit now it looks like I am pointing at Taylor Swift

 

haha thanks sean


you betcha you're looking at taylor swift -__-

 

 

AHH, THAT'S crazy how did that happen! Cause i've used autozone spring compressor and nothing happened!

 

I got something pointing at Taylor Swift!

 

I have no clue... I think I didn't compress it well enough. Oh well it looked pretty cool. Even had a spring get shot off a g35. now that was even cooler cuz it was so unexpected


dont you point your finger at taylor
