I've been calling around trying to find a good price for suspension installation, but have gotten quotes from $150 to $600!!!! I would obviously do it myself if I could, but I can't so can anyone give me an idea of how much this process costs so I don't get ripped off?

Also, here are some pics of "Before." I'll post after pics as well once it's done I apologize in advance for the dirtiness of my car.... And yes I know I parked very close to the garage door.

P.S. I'm installing B&G coilovers from Gravana Tuning, incase anyone was wondering.






Thanks!

 

It definately shouldn't be $600. lol

$150 is more like it.

 

You would be surprised how easy the install is. I installed my lower springs simply by following a howto...do it yourself!!

BUT, those prices seem about right...I believe its $250 here....$50 per wheel plus the alignment.

 

Ah yes. Forgot about the alignment.

 

Yep, the higher price is for full installation and alignment.
I said screw that and put them in myself, twice actually.
I've put two different sets in my car and then installed my old set in a friends car.
So I've done a total of three now.
If you have the basic tools, do it yourself.
The rear is ridiculous easy. The fronts might give you a little trouble with the two lower bolts.
Make sure you have a torque wrench.

 

nice wheels....pm me if you want the installation done 2 hours assuming the parts are correct...

 

dude coilovers are easier then changing the springs yourself. Unbolt the 3 bolts in your strut tower, remove whole unit, replace. Thats pretty much the jist of it.

 

Yeah, save the bucks and install them yourself. It's a piece of cake...easier than springs as mentioned. I wouldn't even concern myself with an alignement unless the front end pulls one way or the other a lot...others will freak and tell you differnently but there is not much adjustment other than toe in of the front tires.

 

You wanna make sure all the height adjustments are the same before you start bolting them in too.
It would really suck to have to disassemble again to adjust

 

Does anyone have installation instuctions for B&G coilovers? I mean, not a tutorial on a web forum or a youtube video, like the actual .PDF file from B&G for Cobalt application? I need them.

 

dude why the hell u parked ur car so close to ur garage door? u dont wan to scratch ur bumper lol

 

hit up the regional forum for someone close that can give u a hand, its not hard to install.

 

its funny..you spend like 1 grand on coilovers and they are so easy to install, its almost depressing lol

 

i have the gravana B+G coilovers too there a great set up; i installed it myself it was really easy
