got my Megan Racing lowering springs in...now the only problem is that I've called EVERYWHERE and no one can install em...any suggestions and how much $ am I looking at once i DO find someone who can install them.

My dad is a mechanic and can do it - but he works so much that he will never have time to do it.

 

get the tools and do it yourself man.. its not that hard. hell call a body shop they should do it.

 

Dude, I can do basic sh*t like install an intake or install headers...when it comes to all the suspension junk and all...I donno how to mess with all that...and I thought i heard someone mentioning needing a spring compressor and all this other sh*t I know nothing about...

 

yeah it can seem overwhelming at first man. it is a task. goodluck either way and post pics after!

 

Yeah..I donno...I think I will see...since this upcoming weekend is a holiday, maybe my dad will be off of work and we can do it then. BTW, will we need a spring compressor...if so, where can I get one? Is it expensive?

 

yeah especially if its your first time, you might need help with that.. yup spring compressor is needed and could be PITA, also in taking off the stock rear coilovers.. wow didnt find any shop to install them?

 

I just noticed you have JDM Import Headers...

Scion tC Tuner Rule 1: There are no "JDM" parts for your car

 

^^ I realize that, just the company I got them from. Could really care less if they came from Cuba. To Ace: NO man, NO ONE wanted to mess with it...even friggen SUSPENSION places said they didn't do it...I'm like damn, I know I don't look to good, but damn does no one want to work on my car? haha

 

Call your local Sears Automotive........they install...........I work at Sears and i asked them if I brought the part in would they install and they said sure but they cannot warentee the part........I have never neeeded a warrentee on a part so it was not a problem..........

and don't tell them they are racing Springs........just springs........they dont need to know anything else including the brand.

 

lol I don't even think there is a friggen Sears Automotive around here...

 

BUMP

 

^^ Too Bad u dont live in SoCal...I have friends that install Springs w/ a simple Floor Jack...

Good Luck!

 

Yeah, if I lived in SoCal I wouldn't have probs with a lot of things haha

 

wdf a normal repair shop should be able to put these things in? They are just springs. They are just something that needs to be replaced every 60k miles or so anyway. Did you ask the shop if they would install "lowering springs" or just springs?

 

Im sure he mentioned lowering springs or racing springs. The shops CAN do it, but dont want to because in case of anything these parts aren't warrantied, the shops cant warranty them either. So they just dont wanna mess with "race" parts.

make a post there stating your location... someone is bound to help out.

 

bro suspension is really easy.....all you gotta do is just stand on the spring and have a buddy loosen the top hat bolt....seriously it wont shoot off at miles an hour...just maybe a lil jump..but if you want to just go to autozone and get the spring compressors...u just pay them and then when u return um u get money back. simple..
