Where to get lowering springs installed around Dallas?

Hey guys, I'm new to the club. I just got some Tein S techs and am looking for a place around Dallas that can do the install. I've checked w/ some of the shops around here and the cheapest I've found is $350. Please let me know if you know of anywhere/anyone that can do it for less. Thanks.

Seriously? I'll give you numerous cases of beer if you can do it. It's an '09, not sure if that makes a difference...

in all seriousness, you can get a group of us together and we can have an install day to help you work on your car. most of us have done several spring installs (i have done about 7) and it only takes a couple hours. let us know one weekend when you might want to do it and we'll try and set something up

oh yea, do you have garage space and tools or do we need to host this somewhere else where someone has all that..

I guess this would be a good excuse to break in the new house, huh?

If next weekend works for everyone, you're welcome over here. I don't have anything to install other than replacing fog lights, but I'm sure there's some other stuff people will need.

And no BBQ pit yet either.

I could be there for awhile on Saturday, but couldn't stay too long.. That's a rather busy weekend for me.

Let's find a weekend everyone will have some time. Maybe mid March? It'll also give people some time to buy stuff and bring it over to install for the state meet.

Either the 12th or the 19th of March will probably be the best bet.

Let's get a date set in stone, I want to come!
I need to learn how to do this... if we have time, we can get mine and Seatown's installed too.
Oh, and the rattle in your exhaust is probably pieces of your catalytic converter.
Happened to mine, the cat has like a 100k warranty or something, so got that fixed... still got pieces in there that I need to pull out though.

I am 99% sure it's not that for a few reasons, but thanks for the suggestion.

I was actually hoping we could do a cruise the weekend of the 12th It would be awesome to get one in before the state meet to potentially break in any numbers that are coming to the state meet to our driving style
