have some Tein H-techs I want to have installed before june 26th been looking around for estimates...so far Midas $350Auto Addictions $400Dealership $400-450 maybe lil lessany other places anyone knows of besides installing myself?I'm also going to be asking a coworker of mine to see if he can install

I buy the springs from you, then you don't have to worry about the install! Pay your buddy to do them, if he's anything like me He'll be happy with $100. You'll get a good deal, and it's not hard to do. (with the right tools)

come to my house, pay me 150 and buy me lunch and i'll "help" you install them

Hey Kieth! def considering your offer do you have all the tools needed? I have like nothing but my bare hands lol

He's got the tools, he's almost as bad as BC... except for Keith it's lower, then raise, then lower, then raise, then lower...

HAHA I am almost as bad. I have lowered and raised my car twice. Four times if you count the two failed attempts.

I had a local, independent performance shop install lowering springs on my Civic for $125. Because they've never done a Vibe they quoted me at most $200. I'd look for some tuner shops that could handle a Matrix because they could do a Vibe just the same.

Big name shops always quote that... They don't want to do the work because they didn't sell the parts.. It really has a lot to do with the corporation really, and insurance.. you bring in a box full of springs and they don't know WHAT they are and weather or not they are safe.. (like the fake S-techs) so they over quote so typically people just walk... Independents aren't held to the same overcautious standards and don't have corperate backing, so they take what they can get..

Of course, I didn't take the rear hatch interior plastic R & I into account - and I'm sure neither did my tuner shop.

before I decided to do my own drop I got pricing and all the shops were going to charge me 350-400... for the first 3hrs... then 75bucks each hour after that if they did it.I said S**** that and did it myself.. lol

cell phone pic quality lowered using Tein H-Techs and mudflaps removedmuch thanks to Keithvibe!

All I see is a red x.

fixed
