Orlando shop for coilovers install?
 

I'm looking to have BC extreme low coilovers installed same day at an Orlando shop. Can any recommend a good place that wont break my wallet? The BCs I want go for $995 shipped. I'm looking to pay exactly that for parts at a dealer and also leave with an alignment. How much for install + alignment?

$1600.

Better off buying a jack, two jackstands, and a ratchet set and swapping them out yourself. Since the BC's already have top hats, this is a way easy install. Then go get an alignment. All of that would cost you probably $1150 total.

^ much agreed. Very easy install

Thanks for the advice. Can you point me to a good DIY for our cars? Also, I don't know about ride stiffness. What would you recommend? This is a DD. I want to go as low as possible without rubbing but idk that much about spring rates.

Keep in mind you'll need some means of adjusting the rear camber with coilovers if you lower the car. As someone who was quoted 6 hours of labor for the whiteline rear upper adjustment bolts (didnt install them because of that) and installed an ecentric bolt for the rear camber I can tell you to just go ahead and get rear lower adjustable control arms. If you don't your rear alignment will surely be off with no way to get it dialed in correctly. My alignment is STILL not right and I've already spent more money parts and alignments than I would have if I had of just going ahead with a rear lower control arm.

I would look at Circuit Motorsports. They are on North Forsyth off of University. They did my springs and a bunch of other stuff and they are great. Plus they are great friends with the guys at BC so they might be able to get you a deal on coilovers.

I was looking into lower control arms for the look when a non-stock color is used. In the DIY I see nothing that mentioned you absolutely need it. Please explain why some have gone without.

Because they don't care about alignments or didn't lower their car which allowed them to get away with just an eccentric bolt for adjustment. With my 1" lower my camber went to -2.4 on the right and -1.9 on the left. The eccentric bolt only got me to -2.3 and -2. I'll need to either install those upper bushings (can't install those myself and the price of installation will basically be what lower control arms cost.

@ang31ito contact @Rev Works....

Thanks @Malt and @Redlinedfrs86. I sent them a message thru their website.

Hey buddy! We can get you taken care of for sure for the install and alignment. We have an in house alignment machine and can also get the parts, so we would be a one stop shop for you! I am sending you a PM with more details :)

According to the sponsors list here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/ad/ad_thesponsors.php

Circuit Motorsports and Titan are both in Orlando. Rev Works is also but they haven't filled out their info for the sponsor list I'm assuming.

I've never dealt with Circuit but Titan is great and Rev Works has good reviews here also :thumbup:
