Frs friendly shops for springs installation in Los Angeles area.
 
I have a car that needs suspension installation and another car that needs springs installation. I can do the suspensions myself but I wouldn't do the springs. Any shop in LA area that has worked on our cars and knows things such as not using guns so the Shaft doesn't spin?

Recommendations are appreciated. :cheers:

I knew about Evasive. Problem is the fact that they are in La Habra and that is about 60 Miles away from me.

Springs are just not something I trust myself with. That and electrical work are two thing I wouldn't touch on my car.

You might try micro image in San Fernando valley. Lookup microimageonline.com they are occasionally out at the Wednesday night meet in Granada Hills. If you do use them let me know how it goes as I am considering them as well.

Does Evasive charge $140 for spring installation? per spring or 4 springs?

$140 OTD?

hanabie 10-16-2013 07:26 PM

Fyi, you dont need any spring compressors for your stock struts. They are very lightly compressed. I don't think you could even kill an ant with that lol. I have done that. You really want spring compressor? Go to autozone, they give you free loaner.

The big part is to tighten your strut's bolt. You need to hold the shaft from spinning. The right tool is required for this process. If you dont have the tools, that's gonna be a bummer. The DIY failed to mention that, but it was discussed in the thread if you keep reading.

Other than tools and springs, elbow grease is needed to install springs. The rear suspension was tough lol due to rear arms. I had to take out sway bar bolt in order to disassemble the rear suspension. You really have to push down the rear arms to take out the struts.

If $140 gets the jobs done, don't save that money lol.. get it done at shop.

Honestly I rather get it done at a shop ad spend 140 then to face issues and complications.

We are in Santa Fe Springs which is only 20mins away from LA. Off the 605 and 5freeway. Give us a call 626-336-3400 we get booked pretty quick.

140 is a deal. I know that most ppl charge more for springs installation. Someone ever quoted me 300. I did it myself for that reason and for experience. If you have the right tools, you dont have to worry any issues that may arise later. Just take ur time and focus.

Oh yeah! Install front camber bolts. Get the bolts and they are cheap. You will thank me. Say you want to get wheels before upgrading coils, shoot ur wheels poke alot. That is a bummer because ur front chamber is 0. Then you realize you need to shell out more for another alignment.
