does anybody know how to install some lowering springs properly
because i dont.

all these shops want an outragous price to install

so if anybody knows i will pay a resonable price if ya help me

i still need to order the springs but i want to find some body that can install em first.

i am looking into geting the Tein H Tech springs.

the price is high cuz its a pretty labor intensive. Most shops will charge ya for 5 hours of work.

Teraflex in salt lake did mine, call and ask for dennis and tell him eric at best buy sent ya, see what he'll do

Pffft. I did my springs and sways, all by myself, in around 5 hours. And I installed my front sway upside down at first... :roll:

I helped Matt install his, as well. But xB's are entirely different from tC's. Let me know. I'm usually down with making a little extra $$$.

How much did the other places quote you? PM me and let me know. I'm always down for trades. I do need a digicam! :wink:

And I would most definitely get an alignment. Depending on how low it is, you could just go to Les Schwab. I think for 4wheel alignment (which you will need) it's around $90. If it's too low, check out Russ' Alignment on Redwood and just north of 21st south.

i got my wheels at "the tire shop" on state i called them later this afternoon,
They gave me a quote for the labor which was $200.00
that included the alignment, which is not bad, i think i just might go there

just so i can get the installation and alignment knocked out at the same time.

And 2 bills is dirt cheap especially with the alignment!! Do it!

I did the springs on my TC and it was alright. I thought the hard part was the interior, getting the plastic body off. $200 is a great price.

I love when you are learning something new and do it wrong.
Upside down I love it. The best part its you will look later in life and wonder how you even could have done that.

Well, I was underneath my car and I could read "Hotchkis" clearly, right side up... Therefore it was upside down. Biggest pain ever. :lol:

Almost as big of a pain as removing my subwoofer enclosures. :shock:
