if i buy springs online and take it to a dealer will they install them for me for a fee? do i need my tires realigned or anything else?

 

yes they will charge you if they will even do it. just take it to like tire discounters or a place like that that does alignment. and yes you will need an alignment. or you could just as easily go to autozone and rent spring compressors and put them on yourself then go get the car aligned.

 

dealer will rape you, if they will even do the install. if you can't do it yourself, try to find a local member to help you, or have a local shop do it. you should never go to the dealer for ANYTHING except warranty and/or free work. if you're paying at the dealer, you're getting ripped off.

 

well i live in indiana and would rather have someone professional do it, i mean i can do all the car audio stuff, but would rather leave the actual safety and drivability to the professionals

im in between the zenn and eibach sportline springs, both drop the same, but are a little differently priced... any suggestions?

 

anything?

 

Sportlines... do not buy ZENN springs they are knockoff TEIN springs!

 

of the tenzo springs?

 

I am running the tenzo R springs, they ride quite nice! But don't use ZENN

 

My dealer said they would do it, but they want the warranty expired first.
I would normally say dont even go to the dealer, but when safety is an issue, it cant hurt to be careful.

If you arent comfortable doing your self, it might not be worth the risk.

 

i m getting mine in the mail on monday and the dealer up the road from me (GOOD family friend works there, salesmen) said he could install it and realign it for about 50 bucks...

is that a good deal??

 

Yes.

 

Just call around to brake and performance shops... to have it done!

It's not a hard job to do, you just have to have the right tools, and dealers arent perfect either!

 

ok, i thought so too...

 

i wanna see the %'s before i put it on my car, my state is 30% all around, but i might want darker? worth the risk

130 for all side/rear and an extra 75 for the fronts so 205 for the whole car, but its the only place i trust around here

so ok?

 

amazing deal

i thought we were talking about springs here....but that is also about the average price for tint all around...

 

well ya but y make two threads

 

what? 50 bucks to install and align? thats at least 3-4 hours of labor worth of work. That deal is retarded cheap, I dont believe it... You cant run a business with rates like that!!

But you dont have to bring that kind of work to the dealer in the first place, any regular independent repair shop can do that, and probably do a better job. And yes you need a 4 wheel alignment afterwards.

tint all the way around will run you between 150-200 bucks anywhere u go

 

he clearly stated that he has a friend who works there

 

now i did some measuring and with the springs dropping the rear 2.5" it will obviously hit the exhaust, can i bend the exhaust down or cut more around the exhaust?

 

so the tenzo's are just cheaper eibach right? (as in the same drop?)

these are the ones im looking at... seem right?

no it wont the exhaust will drop too....

 

k thats what i was wondering after i looked at it, thanks

 

Uh, NO Tenzo R is their own brand.... drop maybe the same I don't know off the top of my head... bu Eibach are good too!

 

yea i know, but like is that the right springs tho?

 

Yeah.... those are the right springs....

Here is the drop on an SS
