Did a quick search and surprisingly didn't find much... apologize to the mods if I missed something.

I'm looking for a good place to have an Eibach Pro-Kit installed in my Fit. I already have the springs. Can anyone vouch for a good shop that will throw these in for a good price?

Or does anyone have any experience with these guys? Welcome to KMF AutoMotive Ltd. (http://www.kmfauto.ca/)

They have a $70 labour rate special going on right now..

Thanks in advance.

[smoothie.]

worked at KMF as a co-op there for highschool.

if they've changed for the better, then maybe.

Otherwise, I'd stay away lol.

I heard revolution is responsible for lowering half the hondas in the gvrd.

Spend the extra bit of money and take it to a good shop. Remember you get what you pay for.

[Lomac]

Give our vendors a call. Baring that, Dales is always top notch. They also do an alignment package after install, which is something i highly recommend you do regardless of who installs the suspension.

AJ-Racing in Richmond :)

Contact Phil at Rise Auto Salon.

Aj racing is $250 for a spring install BUT it comes with alignment. Reputable shop with a pretty decent price. A regular alignment is 80-100$ If I remember correctly?

[!e.lo_]

^yep.
I will of course say Gearheads. They can do the springs+alignment for about the same as AJ-R.

[smoothie.]

I'm looking to put coilovers back into my car,

how much more would that be ontop of springs?

Would need oem tophats to be swapped

[!e.lo_]

hmm, that I don't know.
Give them a call around 11. =]

$250 is best price for spring install + alignment so far. Will log in later and give thanks.

[Over9K]

Any shop can do this...

[aznsuperman]

Call alex at speed syndicate their works are awesome

[Over9K]

Take it to the closest shop, seriously, it's not even that hard.

The fact that people are suggesting "performance" shops is :suspicious:

Very easy to do if you have a little bit of experience and a spring compressor.

[Marco911]

Are you sure your stock shocks are valved correctly for lowering springs? It is important that your stock and spring rates are matched.

[k3lv]

Ring up Alex @ The Speed Syndicate!

[dinamix]

250 is pricey

[Duff Beer]

Don't forget to ask if you could pay CASH :)

[Bhachu]

Artistic Auto in Richmond! Look them up!

[Cman333]

*waves*

We could handle that for you :)

[bloodline129]

Who can install tein s techs on my 350z and for how much and where r u located? :) thanks in advance
Preferably not far from surrey :)

[kwy]

Definitely make sure to get shocks that are properly valved for lowering springs, like the poster above mentioned. Otherwise, the stock shocks will wear out prematurely or the ride will be terrible.

ANYONE.

There's a backyard mechanic around 72nd and 140 St, he'll do it for cheap.

[spoon.ek9]

check your PM

[TjAlmeida]

um, maybe google it and then try yourself, saves you money and you only have to spend money on the alignment.
but if you really dont want to im sure any of the shops listed above or rs sponsers would be happy to do it for a price.

Or maybe ask the forum if someone can help you and that way you make a new friend, costs less, and you get to do it hands on and maybe learn so you know how to do it next time :thumbs:

[EndLeSS8]

Had my springs installed on my new car by Speed Syndicate this week
Alex, Curtis, and Kevin always do good work. Have been going to them for a few years now.

[GG]

drivehard ftw

excellent pricing, and quality job

[svelt]

200 seems to be the going rate upon calling around. Reasonable price?

[Yodamaster]

Just remember, you get what you pay for by having someone else work on your car.

Which is why I've invested the time in learning how to do things myself, it's a personal choice, but I can tell you that my family and I have probably saved hundreds on labour by having me do the work.

[Tapioca]

200 seems to be the going rate upon calling around. Reasonable price?

If the average shop rate is $90/hour, I would think this is a reasonable price considering that it probably does take around 2 hours for the work you need.

Yodamaster - while I think DIY is great and can save you a lot of money, you definitely need the tools, the space (a proper garage), and lots of patience and time. I haven't done suspension work, but other DIY projects I've done in the past have sometimes taken me twice or three times the amount of time that an experienced mechanic would. Plus, you probably need another car on hand in case something else break during your repair (which always happens) and a computer handy in your garage so you can troubleshoot other problems which come up along the way. As you get older, time becomes more valuable and some people simply can't afford to spend a weekend crawling underneath a car.

[Glove]

no such thing as inexpensive shop,

either DIY, get someone to help you, or pay out of your ass

[Shorn]

i recently installed springs on my e90 a few days ago myself with a couple of friends.

cause we were all car noobs, took us quite a while (probably 8+ hours in total :lol) and to me it was pretty hard work. but in the end it was worth it, i learned a lot more about how my car and its suspension work.

so maybe try going online and find some guides to do it yourself. have a lot of patience, find some willing friends and get to work!

i believe if you're passionate about cars then you should try and learn as much as your car as possible instead of getting shops to do everything for you.

[ilvtofu]

^ If you've got a relatively new car things tend to go more smoothly
less likelihood of seized/snapping bolts etc. when I did my miata one of the lower control arm bolts seized rendering the car useless until I picked up a new bolt, not a big deal since it's not my only car but these kinda hiccups do occur. either way DIY is definitely a good learning experience

[blakgtp]

i did my springs in a couple hours. air tools help.

[jackal]

Probably a good idea to find the cheapest place to throw some springs on your car and change all the suspension geometry and then not give a fuck about getting it aligned or anything.

[blakgtp]

if you care about your tires, you should get an alignment

[harrison716]

I've come to realize most of the time inexpensive = bad quality, expensive = maybe good quality.
