    place to install coilovers?

    yeah getting tein ss coilovers , but dont really trust myself installing em, so i went to get a quote for installing em, alignment and getting everything adjusted the way i want them, and i was quoted $450, and i was woundering is this about right. Cause someone told me that i should be able to get all that stuff done for about 250, so does anyone know any places thats good and cheaper than 450 to get em done in the sydney/newcastle region (i live in newcastle ., but i was planning to get em done in sydney cause the places ive asked here in newy havent really done many coilovers before and quote around 500 so yea.....

    sounds expensive to me!
    i installed my own, takes about an hour and i was taking my time.

    i obviously didnt get an alignment with mine though.

    its about 10 bolts/nuts in total you need to undo, adjusting the coilovers isnt difficult either.

    I suggest doin it yourself. Not hard. If you can plug a computer together you can install coilovers.

    Off Topic: What do you guys suggest for bedding/running in ya coilovers?? Some people say set them to the highest setting for a few hunder K's and then lower them to where you want. PM me with the answer if you want so that I don't hijack this thread.

    Wish i had a Honda
    when fitting coilovers, wheel alignment is a must as toe angle mite need adjusting.
    i got my coilover install for $250 at a mate shop,
    and got my alignment done at pedders for $100 for all 4 wheels
    WHAT IS A HONDA!!!!!!!!!!

    negative... corner weigh balancing is when they balance your car... adjust the height of the suspension accordingly so that the each corner are identical to the other... (same front to rear weight ratio for both left and right sides)

    Corner balance equation

    hope tat helps...
