I think it still might be a little better than that $238 deal because shipping would still be quite a bit more. I have an appointment to have them put on next Wed, so pics will follow soon after.
Where is your shop's friend at? I will be needing some springs once I get my wheel situation finished.

Thanks!

Don't know where my "shop's friend" is at, but I know where my "friend's shop" is. The shop and myself are located in Orlando. If you need them, I'm not sure what price he'd give you but I'll ask when the time comes. Let me know.

Jemel, what year is your car and what color so I know what to look for. I have a black 98 300 with HIDs and yellow fogs (if you happen to see me at night). I get all my stuff from Racing Zone on Semoran. If you go, ask for Brian and tell him Tek sent you and I'm sure he'll work out a deal. If you want quality wheels, go there as well. Hope to see your around sometime.

This is how my car looks like, but without the wheels.

Axis sent me this wheels with wrong offset and to top it all....the don't make them the right offset. I have never been to racing zone...I will check them out.

How funny, my gf just told me yesterday "I saw a white SC with deep rims today." Guess that was you. We should meet up sometime. By the way, Racing Zone is located on Semoran (436) close to the 408 East/West expressway. They sell ONLY quality Japanese/European aftermarket products. You'll be impressed.

I have an appointment to get them put on next Wednesday, can't wait. As for the $100 install, I believe that's the price if you purchased the springs from them. Most places will charge you more to install products purchased elsewhere. I can get you their number though if you want.

I was just curious is any one planing to change the struts/shocks along with their new springs?
Would/Could this cause some damage to tires or other?

I got my Espelir springs installed today. The ride is definitely close to stock, minus the body roll. The only thing is there is an occasional popping sound when I go over bumps...seems like the springs settling into place or something. Is that normal? But I gotta love the fact that the gap is gone...even with stock wheels!

No digital, so pics will be up as soon as I can manage to get my hands on a camera that's not my phone.
