Hey guys, I'm lookin at buying a set of eibach sways from someone locally but really only need the rear one. Anyone interested in the front sway for $100? Comes with brand new endlinks. Fits 2G TL, 2G CL, and 6G Accord. Ebay price is close to 200 shipped...

Can anyone here recommend a good suspension shop in the dfw area?

Completely shredded a bushing on my front passenger side and need to have them all replaced. I've already bought a kit, just need them installed.

G,

You hiring in DFW? Kidding.

I was taken care of, and hope to find something soon.

Mark,
I hope the same holds true for you.

I'm planning on taking the car in to have the clutch and timing belt done.

While it was there I thought about having my aspec shocks/struts replaced since i've put 115k miles on them. My suspension has softened up a little but I'm impressed after 115k miles they are still in decent shape.

David McDavid quoted me ~$800 to replace all my shocks and ~$900 to install.

Question: Would it be cheaper to buy an aftermarket shock of equal or better quality. If not, the way the aspec shocks have held up it's worth it to me to go with those and go another 100k+ miles.

Also: If someone wants to help me save $900 on an install I'd be willing to do the work with guidance and pay someone some money for it.

Can he do mine also? I'm waiting to have my springs and shocks put on in the next 2 weeks or so. I'm in Dallas and I would pay in cash, none of this paypal stuff.
