Need to have springs installed in Dallas
Hey all,
Anybody know of a good, reliable place in the Dallas area that can install springs on my 8?
Thanks,
Danny

Hey, irish8, I have some I need on too, I feel comfortable enough on doing the job myself, if I had an extra hand. We could work together, knock em both out. The best quote on labor I got in town is from http://www.jotechracing.com/ $250 I called several high peformance shops in town.

You might check with FALCONTX that started this thread: https://www.rx8club.com/gulf-rx-8-forum-32/dfw-mazda-meet-haltom-city-saturday-february-19-fender-roller-available-52762/
He is a Mazda 6er that we have met up with their group in north Fort Worth at one of their shops and the guy that has access to the shop will help you for next to nothin and does a great job. They are a great group of guys. Ask if they are going to have another meet there soon. If they do I am sure alot of us would go. Keep us posted.

if ur still looking to get them done, i would suggest northaven auto in dallas. its my friends shop, and he does a perfect job and really cares about the car he is working on. he did my eight, and can do any of yours as well for $85. That is a bargain seeing how this install can take several hours.
oh and, do NOT go to JoeTech. I had a friend who had his installed from there a while back. When he went home he saw they did not even replace 2 of the 3 screws on both of the front shocks. That is only 1 of 1000 bad stories i can tell you about that place.
