I'm not trying to get out of paying and get you guys to work on my car for free, so I'm still up for paying a bit for your help and use of your tools...I just want to participate in changing the shocks and springs so I can be more hands on with my car and learn myself...I installed my AEM CAI but the instructions were so noob friendly it wasn't that bad. I'd love if anyone in the area could help me out :D pm me or text 832-231-ohtwo01.


thanks =)

if it matters shocks are tokico dspecs and tein s tech springs.

 

also i wont even be getting the shocks for 2 weeks or so says works concepts so dont think i mean like urgently or right now..just when you have time after that.

 

good luck! i'm sure someone will chime in and help. if not, the guys in the sa crew are super nice and would probably help if you drove there. i did mine, with the help of my brother-in-law who is very good at that stuff, so i definitely understand where you're coming from. i'm not experienced enough to be able to do it with you, otherwise i would offer.

 

yeah i'm hoping someone from SA chimes in so i can have an excuse to have a GT-F photoshoot with 9k lol

 

If you want to come up to Dallas I'd be more than willing to help...

CALLING 9K!!!

 

I have experience, I went from stock to springs to having an air ride setup now, we do it all out of my friend's shop here in Austin, hit me up if you're interested

 

Canary is closer and the shop he speaks of is a good place to go (remember the coilover install Canary?). But if you come to SA we can probably knock it out. I have a guy coming from Del Rio this weekend that I am going to help install coilovers on his 8.

 

heck yeah, we did an IS-F a few months ago as well, it had an aftermarket exhaust, omg it was rad, dude has really nice wheels now too. I need to find it on the forums again, that car is super sick.

 

If my schedule opens up I will be down to help. I did 2 RX8 spring/shock setups on my car and switched to my coilovers now. In my opinion putting the springs on the shocks take the most time

I will let you know sometime this week

 

ok sifu, it wont be for at least 2 weeks so yeah if you have free time in like 3 weeks you can set aside that would be great..if not ill make the drive out to SA or austin :D

 

off-topic, what sideskirts are those sifu?

 

I have the spring compressors if you need those lol. I'd help you but school isn't allowing me much time to do other stuff.

 

Hey, I also have springs/shocks I would like to install but do not have any idea how/what to do.
I can meet/drive with you to Houston, Dallas, SA, or Austin
I already have the springs and shocks but in no rush to install them
I might have to roll the fenders since I have big 19 wheels/tires.
Also I might not be much help in installing but would like to learn.
Thanks
Oh do not work so can do anytime.
same zip as urs 452 two oh 5 oh

 

i THINK sifus are auto exes ... also i would be willing to help schedule permitting i did my own once n it turned out perfect the first go so i guess i can do it again

 

If you still have the tires on the rear that you had last time, then I will say again that you do not need to lower your car. Those tires are WAY too tall.

 

Yes, still have those tires

Been working on my bike, does not want to idle properly

Someone tried to do a spring install last year. Do not remember who but they found out the nuts/bolts were on too tight and they did not have the impact wrench to take them off

Found out my bro in law has a roll tool in SA so I might be able to borrow that.
After the bike, I will try to install my rotors/brake pads/paint underside/paint calipers/etc

 

My thread got jacked yo

 

They are the Burnout Type II sides

 

We installed Bilstein PSS9's on triangle mans ride yesterday and they are great coilovers.

 

What was the verdict? Where and when? Do not call me a pervert but I would like to watch. So I can learn how to do mine.
If u do not mind.
thanks

 

its looking like i will drive to austin to meet with canary or sifu or 9k in SA...lol.

dunno how long the wait is going to be for works concepts...but im gonna ask those 3 again when i get them.

 

shocks/springs here the 15th...canary is busy till october, sifu is unknown as of now...anyone else that posted available in next few weekends? if not ill wait till october and drive to austin :D

 

Sweet, I really like how the front is shaped, looking to change up mine at some point, just not sure which way to go yet. (I love the new Mazda ones too, may look into those when I have the spare cash etc.)

 

Yeah I really like this one also. The only thing is that mines cracked from daily driving so I might get another same one haha.

 

wow they are huge! i was expecting like a medium size box with the shocks and springs inside...pictures like i thought maybe like 10inch or 1 foot tall on shocks...haha im such a noob :D
