orderd springs where to get them installed - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #6344 8 posts Started by afroman
if any none is from notheast nebraska or southeast south dakota. i went to the toyota dealership just to check the price to have them installed and they wanted 420 so i went to another shop and they wanted 450 i was wondering if anyone knew of a cheaper place of maybe this is a good price. they are dropzones if that matters. thanks guys if this is a stupid question just dont answer
Do it yourself. It's fairly easy...refer to the "how to's" section on this website...
i have read through it but in all honesty i would rather just pay somebody i was wondering if that was a good price
Well.. 400 is a lot of money... I mean, a lot. I think my cousin got his installed at the local performance shop for a bit over 100 bucks... but I dunno.
thanks man i will read through it again and see if i want to tackle it i am still shopping around
take it to a back woods garage. They'll do it or $50,lol!

It's not so hard, just gotta make sure to line everything up correctly. Specifically the top spring perches in the rear (you'll see how it lines up in the chassis) and the arrow on the top spring perch in the front (the arrow needs to line up with the steering knuckle bracket on the strut itself. Also, tighten up the upper strut mounting bolts when the car is back on the ground. That way the full weight of the car can be on the springs b4 you tighten it. And of course get it aligned as soon as you get done, that's prolly the most important of all.
well i think that i am going to tackle this project. i have a fall break the middle of october so i think i am going to do it then. i found out my dads friend was a mechanic mainly domestics but he is going to be out of town. we have a shop to use so thats good. i want to get it done so if anything happens he can fix it. thanks for all the help guys
