Spring installation cost $$$

[XXplosive990]

Hey, i was gonna buy myself some Eibach Springs for my coupe and was just wondering how much people payed to have them installed by a mechanic. Im doing this so i dont get ripped off lol

hrmm, not bad. where can i get myself some friends like this?

Get Mr. Righty and Mr. Lefty, they'll work for free.

[XXplosive990]

haha thats always an option, i was just wondering on prices but some DIY is always free

Dude, just DIY it. It's a super easy job and you'll get the self-satisfaction that comes from working on your own ride. Anyone can pay someone else to do a simple mod...take pride in your car and get your hands dirty!

There's a really good DIY article in the tech section that'll walk you through it step by step. You can doooooo it!

Welcome to the club!

http://forums.altimas.org/zeromain thats the link you should bookmark!

All the info here is in its proper section (for the most part)... (this has been discussed before in the suspension section)

The search button works too, and we are always here to help you out!

Anything up to $200 is a reasonable price for the install... and it isnt the most simple DIY, and can be dangerous! If you are going to attempt the DIY, I highly suggest finding a friend (here on nico, or one you already know) who has done this before!

Hey Strik3r. Do you know any good import shops around our area. I just got my A/C and want to throw some Eibach's on it. Thanks in advance.

Damn, what a friend. I paid 40 bucks more for a shop to do it. Warranty of their work and all.

get it done by a shop its just easier.......or better go get the coils there better anyway

The rears are super simple... do them yourself. Takes about an hour, start to finish.

The fronts require spring compressors, and ripping both struts completely out of your car. We didn't have access to spring compressors, so we got a local shop (people we know) to do them. THEIR compressors even had a tough time dealing with the short length of the Eibachs, so I was happy to pay $200 (CDN) for the front install, done in just under 3 hours.

I would go and rent the spring compressors from an auto parts store (most of them rent for free, just with a deposit so you dont steal their stuff). Set a good day aside, and get up decently early in the morning with the daylight and get started.

Keep in mind, if you haven't done something like this before, its going to take you a good 6 hours to get the full install completed. But, its instant gratification and saves a good bit of money for some other mod at a later date.

I hoped to rent the compressors but couldn't find a shop that did that.

Afterward, I found them on sale at Princess Auto for something like $40... oh well...

The cheap princess auto ones will work.. barely. They compress the spring JUST enough lol. (From experience)... lol

Oh how we love princess auto...
