Looking for help w/ coilover install - Plano - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

PBlack09 · 11-03-2014, 08:37 PM

Hey everyone.

So I'm pretty new to the these forums, but I'll be installing some coilovers and 18" wheels hopefully this weekend. I'm busy Saturday between noon and 6, but am free outside that and all Sunday.

I'm going to rent a lift from the Jack Junkies garage in Plano and could use some assistance and proper knowledge with installing suspension.

Lunch or whatever is on me.

Thanks!

How much will it cost you to rent the lift?

It might be worth to just make an appt with Vorshalg and let them handle the install.

$23/hour for a lift.

You could bring out over to my house and we could knock it out with Jack stands

I am installing my KW this weekend along with the sway bars and end links. We can do it at Jack Junkies if you want. I was plan to install it in my garage but a lift would be great.

I ended up getting my wheels installed right before I left the state last week and they fit fine on stock suspension, so I'm just going to sell the coilovers and go for lowering springs instead.

Sweet which coils are they? For the right price I might be interested. Also, when you get the springs I'd you need help with those let me know

BC Racing - BR Type Coilovers. I got them for just over $1000. I opened the box just to see what all was in there, but besides that, they haven't been touched and are still in the box.

I'm not sure what lowering springs I'd like to get yet. I'm aiming for no more than a 1.4" drop. Any recommendations for rear control arms or other items, or are they not exactly a necessity?
