What Shop did your Suspension?
 
Ive been lookin round cause im gettin Sprint Springs, and i have KYB struts, so i wanna get em installed so i can have my car lowered, but i dunno where to take it. Honestly, i know how to do it, i just dont trust myself doing it. My friend quoted me itd cost round 200 for fronts and 225 for backs today over at pepboys, and a local tuner shop would probably be more expensive then that. so lemme ask ya'll, did you take it to a local shop? a nationwide store or did you do it yourself?

Couldn't have said it better myself...

Honestly...I had my springs put on for $180.00 one month later I got the Koni's...

and DIY'd it with BlueRevs (saved about $250) and I'm SOOO glad I did...now I KNOW I can work on my car if anything ever goes wrong...TRUST ME, it may seem intimidating (sp?) at first...but once you "Get 'er dunn" you will look at it and think to yourself "heh, that wasn't so hard" :D

he probably has the GR-2's. And BTW the GR-2's aren't meant for lowered cars. They are an OEMish replacement. But i could be wrong.

flotsamm 03-31-2004 08:46 AM

Hrmm.. has anyone ever even seen the GR-2's? I'm skeptical that these even exist in the states.. perhaps in Asia only?

Ive got the KYB adjustable struts.

Anyone have anything good or bad to say about them? and if so do they have any other alternative for struts?

So you guys say its easy to install struts and springs? really? cause it looks long and time consuming.

flotsamm 04-01-2004 08:27 AM

Got pics?

I called NOPI and the sales guy said theyre not in stock. When I asked him the ETA, he said probably the end of July.

Are they inserts or are they a full strut? Inserts are going to be harder to install than full replacements.
