lowering springs? - Page 3

Wouldn't you also want to find a shop with an alignment machine? Best off to find one that can install the spring and align the wheels, cause then you only have them to blame if something is off and the shops dont point fingers at each other if something is wrong. Also if the shops says yes, they can install the springs and align the car, take a peak in the shop to see if you see an alignment machine. I've have shops to "alignments" before with a measuring tape and their eyes (no alignment machine).

Have you guys really had a hard time getting springs installed?

Strange..I went to the first place I saw and they did it no problem... with alignments I have no problems finding a shop to do the work

I bought a set of plates and a laser tape measure for about 250 bucks to do my own alignment whenever I feel like it, haha.

I did had problems finding a place that would say yes to me. Because a lot of the shops around here only work on the more popular modded cars, and I only found one that takes in what ever car you bring in to them to work on.

Thats what I had to do to find a shop that was willing to do the job. I went thru like 10 shops before I found one that said yes. $150 and 2 and half hours later my springs where installed.

Both are good points. Thanks.

Well if Kenny wants to or not I'm for sure getting some...I just dont know when yet. I'm waiting for my business license and all that to finalize before I can contact Apex...which should be in a week or two.

it isnt that hard to swap springs, but if you dont know what your doing.. play custom shop phone tag!
