Just received my JIC'S coilovers today. I live in NorCal near Berkeley Ca., can anyone recommend a shop to do the install for me? Can't wait to have these installed.
Thx in advance,
Ajay

Thanks for the replies, found a place in Richmond yesterday to do the install. It cost me $200 including four wheel alignment. That was the best price I could find around here. $700 bucks is way too much. Took the car in around 9am was done by 2pm and I'll post pictures soon.

i took it back to the place that quoted me $700. They now quote me around $650 and they say that they will have to have the car for around 2 days. The first day they will put everything on, make sure that all my other suspension components are ok, and then the second day, they will have me come out and adjust the height, etc. to my liking. Then they will do an alignment.
I found a second place that said they will put it on for $180 and it will take around 3-4 hours. They didn't say anything about an alignment.
Do you guys think I should get it put on here in Roanoke, or should I wait till I get down to FL and have it put on there?

Florida. It's been quite a while since I looked, but there is only one shop that I might even trust in Roanoke to do the install, not sure if they're still around. Something like Roanoke Spring Works, they're right across from the Civic Center downtown.

Dave, I went to Roanoke Auto Spring Works and talked to them. They have two guys there that deal with lowering (one does trucks, 4x4's, etc.) and one does cars. They guy that does cars won't be in until Mon., but I talked to the guy that does trucks, and he said that they do them on the side and it would be around $250.00. He looked at my JIC setup and said that they should be able to do it. From what I could tell, I don't see anything wrong with them touching the car (the guy I talked to seemed competent...which is hard to find in Roanoke). He also said that they would do an alignment and talk to me about the ride height, etc. that I want. I think I might go this route b/c I don't have a lot of room to take stuff back to college with me (the SC isn't that big) so I want to get the suspension put on ASAP. Thanks for the recommendation Dave.

Which brings my next question, is it that hard to install a set of springs and shocks/struts? Or am I missing something? Does the fact that they are coilovers make it a more daunting task? Not knocking anyone, just curious. Thanks.
