Crazy but true...

Ok - so I nkow this is very strange to post in the Tech threads but... I recently acquired a set of Eibach springs
and am having a ton of trouble getting them installed for less than $300 in Nashville. I was very excited
about this mod until I started seeing the $$$ go forward. If anyone has any recommendations for installers
in the area please let me know - or other ideas - I don't really want to do it myself.

Thanks very much...

just keep calling around.. try
Precision Auto Design

Nashville, TN 37211
(615) 834-4414
Fax: (615) 831-9026

look at websites for neuspeed, eibach, h&r, progress, gold-line and look under dealers to get some numbers.. chances are if they sell them they most likely install them too. you have to call tuner shops and not rims/tire places.

Just make sure you guys drink the beer after you're finished installing the springs[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] Last thing you want are your wheels falling off your car on the Highway, hehe

year, a local shop here installed some springs on an accord, they overtorque the nut and stripped it, the guy was on the high way, his front right wheel shot across 4 lanes and his dront end digged into the ground ended up in the ditch

voiceofid is the man...he knows his stuff. make sure you are very careful about the way you install those springs. i know you will find a place cheaper than 300$ though...around here it costs anywhere from 100-130$...i'd even say you could get some guys from a club to do it for around 90$. we did mine ourselves, it isnt too hard if you know what you are doing. check out overboost.com they are great at answering these type of questions..they have DIy's with awesome pics as well. and there are a couple DIY's here on this site too

Cheers
