well ****. don't have the tools nor know how to get the job done safely. i tried with my springs and that went to **** haha. i ended up paying 427.00...including the alignment..and (yea, this is bs) an extra hour cuz they had to take out the board that my amps are sitting on

i got a friend and his dad who would do mine whenever i get them. his dad used to be a mechanic, but was fired because the service manager didn't do something that he said he would, which ****ed up a customer's car in the end.

its really not hard to install struts or springs if you have a spring compressor.

getting the springs on wasn't the problem. it was taking out/putting in the struts. **** just didn't go right - and in the end my springs were noisey and didn't feel right. like i said im glad i had someone who know s what they're doing do it right

sounds like the springs were not seated correctly on the cup making the noise.
Glad you got it fixed though

at tire pros here in california I got mine done for $170.00 including allignment, they gave me the price over the phone and had me pay before the installation. You need to find a shop that does a flat rate because you are getting raped so hard, with that money you could buy a whole new exaust. ;/

they wernt tryin to rape him they just didnt want his business. i did it all the time to ppl if they sounded like they were gonna be overly picky and didnt buy the product from us. i remember one time i quoted a guy a price of 100 to install a deck with dash kit ant adap and harness then he told me a story about a shop down the street where they did nothing wrong he was just crazy so i told him it would be 200 to install the deck now. then he was like what if i have you install my amp too. i said 700 to install head unit and run the amp kit in your jeep. it wasnt that i wanted to rape him i just didnt want the headache of explaining to him that its normal to have normal things. and have him come in every week askin us to look at his amp. if the place has enough business and they have quality workmanship they can pick who they want to work with.

i paid 120, not enough time to do it myself. print out the DIY and save you the money.

i dunno, i really think that is their rate. i didn't go in asking for special work or anything. i called one day and they said something like 350 or around there then i called the next day and they said 700 something. i asked why there was such a price increase and they said the first price i was quoted was just for the fronts. i think they charge up the as$ when you don't buy the parts through them either way its all said and done and i love the way my car drives now..

does it still squek? did you ask the guys who did it if you had f'd it off to make it squeek or was it just the springs with stock struts? and hows the ride as far as a daily driver goes?

sometimes you can't put a price on peace of mind. If paying alot for a shop helps you sleep at night knowing you can blame somebody else then by god do it. It's the American WAY!!!!

nope doesn't sqeak at all anymore. for driving its awesome! i always thought, even before i was lowered, that there was something wrong with my suspension. i took it to Honda numerous times to have the shocks looked at but they kept telling me "thats just the way Civics drive" i knew it was BS cuz it kept getting worse and worse over the 2 years i had it stock. then i put the Neuspeed springs on and it was worse, but not undrivable.

now that i have the tokicos on there...its better than it use to be when it was at stock height!!

im getting new tires (215/40/18) on friday - so i'll let ya know how it is with those. i cant wait cuz im riding on a 35 series right now and if i like this ride - i bet im gunna love it with the 40s
