well guys my sportlines showed up today now im lookin for a place to get them installed any suggestions on where i could go for a half decent price?

 

i got mine yesterday and did it myself, took us 5 hours lol

 

Trouble with the nut on the top of the hub? Other than that there shouldn't be a reason to take that long. lol

 

make sure you get an alignment after they are installed

 

do em urself and i didnt get an alignment and ive had mine on for bout a month now
no problems

 

that was exactly what the problem was, i was starting to get pissed but we found the light

 

My car was out of alignment quite a bit after i lowered my car, so i just had it done and that way i am not gonna prematurely wear my tires down, or have a difference in the cars handling, for like $50 its well worth it IMO

 

I've heard that if you mark the areas where the two bolts go you won't have alignment issues. You know, mark them so when you bolt up that area, the lines you marked are aligned. Does that make sense? Correct me if I'm wrong maven.

 

do it your self man, its like 2 hour tops job.
the rear all you need is a 19mm socket and jack, drop the rear axel and take the old prings out and slap the new ones in, now the front a slightly harder.
take a marker mark the two bolts on the strut 1 and 2, make a line down the side to the strut so you can line them up when putting back on (helps keep it somewhat aligned) then remove them they are a 19mm, you need a hammer to take them out once the nut is off, then remove the 3 bolts on top, they are a 13mm, then drop the strut down, you dont need to remove the sway bar link, i tried one of mine and i broke it so i left the other one on. you can go to crappy tire and rent spring compressors or you can go out and buy your own at princess auto for like 30 bucks.
compress the spring remove that last bolt on top of the strut, i think its 16 or 17 mm remove spring, uncompress it, then compress the new ones put them on and re bolt everything again and BANG your done!

id help yea, but my car is on all 4 of my jack stands and my jack is at the storage place, and i REFUSE to use that little cheap red one we have from crappy tire.

your right soem what.
you still going to have the toe or heal out, or maybe be cocked eyes too.
because your lowering the car and with doing the marking your pretty much putting it to stock even though your lowering, so it helps out a little.
i lowered my car and drove the car for 1.5 years before getting it aligned and my tires were starting to show metal lol

 

Hey cobalt man...Where did you get your springs from and how much did you pay total for them...Im thinking about getting some soon.

 

eBay is selling some sportlines for 179 now

 

**** ebay they have alot of fake stuff then try to sell them to people for higher prices

 

not to mention that our dollar sucks right now, so 179$US for sportlines, well shipped to our doors would be well between 350 and 400$ CAD

 

Your telling me our doller sucks, I was in Boston for the weekend almost **** myself when I exchanged money. Should have told me what parts you guys wanetd I could bring **** back from the states.
