Suspension Installs

If anyone in the GTA needs suspension installed I can do it for a fee. This includes replacing springs and shocks. Any other installs are possible, and we'll work out a price. Email me below if interested, ask Gary about my handywork if you need a reference.

416-843-7272

Located just north of Mayfield Rd, on Highway 10.

Thanks, Tomek



Here is my rate, which is quite reasonable:

$100, free install of front camber plates, rear camber correction bars $10 extra.

Free with suspension installation:

- tire rotation (if requested)
- air pressure check/adjustment
- visual inspection of brakes
- fluids check
- inspection of suspension components (ball joints, tie rods, compliance bushings).

Can replace:

- ball joints
- tie rods (inner and outer)
- compliance bushings
- timing belts, brakes

I can do everything but fit fiberglass bodywork, I stay away from things that I can't do to my high standards.

Can also do tune-ups, timing belt changes, everything but valve adjustment. Competitive pricing. Need to pay off OSAP.

I'm in the GTA, should change my profile. Front or rear camber kit, or both? I'm not sure how long it will take, but I'm sure we can work out a good price.

Another happy customer. Tein SS springs without pillowball mounts, install went without a hitch, nice ride, and snow clearance. Have fun, but not too much fun

Well, if you are doing TB you might as well put new accessory belts if the old ones are close to done. They need to be removed to change the TB anyway.

I have to check the shop schedule and see which weekend I can bring it in, although it will most likely be a Sunday afternoon, most likely two weeks this Sunday.

Also, I can get the parts you require from Honda at a discounted rate, so if you plan on buying the parts from the dealer, I can order them through my source. Roughly 20% less than dealer (before taxes).

Not entirely true. A timing belt can be installed within 5* and still work, but it willl affect the powerband. IIRC D17 have room for 7* advance in cam timing and only 4* on the exhaust side (high interference motor, good efficiency), so if you are off one cog it can be disaster.

If the tensioner is set incorrectly it can hold tension until the spring wears out and then releases the tension, which alows the belt to jump.

Waterpump can be installed incorrectly and leak 20+ kms down the road.

Torque specs can be way off (too high or low, both are bad), which can affect future servicability.

The bottom line is yes, it's right or wrong right away, but can go wrong in the future. I do it right the first time, because I take the extra 20 mins to make sure everything is aligned perfectly and done properly.
