View Full Version : Need someone/somewhere to install SLP Take-off springs + shocks for me
Im ditching the lowering springs and going back to stock height. Now, two shops that I usually go for that do the things out of my reach refuse to touch my car cuz it doesnt have cats (lame) cuz they are in danger of losing their certification or something. And I certainly cant do it myself cuz of my injury and the lack of tools. I also have new shocks to be installed as well. Can someone guide me somewhere or to someone that will do them. $$$ talks :-D Thanks

I can do the rears...
if you have a full set of springs, and a full set of shocks to install, i can help ya out. I'd need the front struts and front springs before hand and i'll install them together at my old shop(since i dont have a wall-mounted spring compressor at home and i dont trust the other types), and then i can swap everything out at my house, kasey could help too. $$ does talk lol :-D

That would be ****ing sweet dude. Tell me how much these dividends should/will cost me. Not to mention I'll also buy pizza/drinks :-D Also, next time if you come out for a friday get-together, ill bring the front shocks+springs and a down payment ;-)
I gotta resort to stock height cuz #1: Too low for my area's roads. #2: Im throwing magnaflow cats on and I need as much ground clearance as possible and #3: I want 11" rears that wont rub :lol:

I just installed a set of Koni's this past weekend on my car. I bought a spring compressor to do the fronts, and it kicks ass. The link is here http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=45860. I liked the wall mount at the auto body shop I used to work at, but they are pricey. This one works pretty damn good.

I did the Koni's and Sam Strano's sway bars, which are a 35mm front, and 22mm rear, both hollow. I had KYB's, and I tell ya the overall ride quality is MUCH better, and handling is night and day! If anyone wants to buy a set of stock 97 SS swaybars, or KYB's with about 25K miles on them, let me know.
