Lowering - Tucson AZ

Where should I go to install lowering springs? No, I can't do it myself and don't have any friends. Do you have a shop you can recommend? My next choice would be to go with the "recommended installer" from Tirerack.

TIA

I know you said you cant do it. But its really quite simple.


You can get the spring compressor as a "rental" for free @ your auto zone.


best bet would be to ask your dealership. shouldnt cost more than $100.

I did mine by myself with no experience, its so easy I've already done another friends car. all you need are jack w/ stands, spring compressors and an impact gun or air rachet to make things go faster.

ya the rear is the easiest!all you do is take the bottoms shock bolt off and the whole assembly pivits down and the spring comes right out.as for the front,i manage a autozone and the rental is a 15 dollar deposit which is fully refunded when you bring the compressor back!but anyway you compress the old spring pull it out and reverse the process.took me like half an hour total.
