Spring install in Vancouver
Well just picked up a set of Tein S-techs and need them installed on the TL. Called a couple of shops and they quoted me a fair bit.

Anyone here able to suggest a place to get em done for good price?

Or better yet, anyone here know how to do it themselves? Cash & beer will be the reward for your help in installing. Thanks fellas

I can ask my friend for you but have you checked out AJR or Revolution?

Actually, I think evo garage or G5 prices are abit better.

How much have the shops you called quoted you for?

MHR and G5 are both $180-190. I think I remember paying $130 for my 02 TL.

I posted this on R-Scene as well, but so far no real luck.

G5 is cheap already.

Look for Chris Luehmann. Say Clem referred you. Or say the TL-S guy from NASIOC. LOL

Very reliable and awesome guy!

So far so good! I plan on changing the setup to cleared tails as soon as I can get my hand on a set of Type-S tails.
