New to area, need a shop

I'm tired of my saggy *** neuspeed sports (pretty sure I got ripped off on e-bay) so I'm looking for a shop around the tempe/phx area to install some H&R's... Need some good (cheap) recommendations! Thanks

well i paid 100 in the SF/Bay Area to have my neuspeeds put on. I'd like to have it done for 100 or less by someone who knows what they're doing. I don't want to have it done at the local gas station.

Rufus you can be a real as*hole some times.

Half there is no such thing as "cheap" labor. The going rate is about $70 an hour for a mechanic to work on your car. Sometimes the price is more sometimes its less.

Some shops around the valley are:

Import life
Import power house
Apex Motor sports

Hear is a link cus Im a nice guy.
http://importpowerhouse.com/

All these shops can install some springs for probily under $200. I dont know call & find out.

Good luck!

Thank you! That's all I needed from the beginning... just a few shop names. I still want to know wtf Rufus was talking about though - it made absolutely no sense.

I have no idea if you somehow take everything that I've ever said out of context or what your issue is but lets clear it up right now. 95% of the people in this forum know me personally. Everyone jokes on this forum. We have a good natured bunch. I don't think ANYONE in here is EVER an ******* to anyone else. Period. There has been more reciprocating help with cars on here than you know. So to answer your question as to what I meant: JT had posted an offer to do it that is now deleted. The way it read it looked like you appreciated his offer but wanted someone who knew what they were doing. My point was that JT, and many other people on this forum, are able to help out AND know what they're doing. I am able and I probably could help out depending on my schedule.

So to 02BLKCIVIC, somehow you took one of my posts to heart and it set you on this whirlwind of thinking I'm an ***. Get over it because you're wasting your time. I help lots of people on here and they can vouch. So we cool?

Were cool.

It’s just with your fragment sentences & sarcastic remarks. I feel your remarks are some what brackish.

But no harm no foul. I’m sure ONE DAY I too will get the privilege to sit down and have good natured brunch with you...

yes, i did post a reply that i was willing to help him do the install just as i have helped (4) other members with their install.
the only reason i deleted it was because i posted it before i really thought about how much time i have available to do this for the guy


if he still really needs the help, my offer still stands.

For me, anyway, the new springs and rears are no issue but the front have a little unsprung weight on them. I suppose you can just loosen them until they pop. Apparently these beeches are way more macho than I am.

They probably just have a lower drop so less spring to go Boing.
