I just moved to Austin from the DC area and I want to install my Tokico struts and Espillar springs. Can someone please let me know where to go to get these installed. I am living in Austin but I frequent San Antonio often. Thanks in advance.

 

If you're willing to drive a few minutes north to Round Rock every RXer I know swears by JC Auto Specialists. http://www.jcautospec.com/

 

Umm.... I live in San Antonio, and I can install them for you.... But I just need a bunch of time in advance to know. It's actually quite simple.

 

JCautospec can hook you up, SoulSpeed can as well, I also know a few people who are perfectly capable that can do it as a side job, one of which did my springs.

 

I smell a mod party a brewing! Can anyone say nitrous kit install? I have spring compressors too but I suggest taking the srpings to a shop and have them mount the springs and then it would save a lot of time and we coudl just slap those babies on!

 

I can mount them for you in my service department... an install party would be cool.

 

Service department huh? Need any medication samples (by prescription of course) or if you need any computer work we could trade. I hate using the damn spring compressors and I will be ordering teins soon.

 

I can stop by anytime. Let me know what the cost would be. I was quoted anoutrages cost in DC so I waited until I arrived here in Texas.

 

What exactly do you have? I mean, what needs to be done? Do you already have your stock suspension off, or nothing has been done yet, and all you have are the new springs still in the box?


Viagra.. lots and lots of Viagra. I wanna put about 10 of them in the morning coffee pot.. haha

 

Nothing has been done. the springs and struts are brand new in a box.

 

Do your struts have the pillow-mounts... I think that's what they are called... the top part, that mounts to the strut tower.

 

I did not purchase them from this location but it contains the description of the item I have.

Dangit, I'm at work, and those sites are blocked through our firewall.

 

Here is what he has:





Hope you didn't pay those prices.

 

As I recall I picked up the package for less than 500

 

Springs and shocks? Great price, from where?

 

Install party! i got a set of koni shocks and tein springs, and i live in austin too.

 

Ok, well... I kinda thought that you had the whole set up.... not just the strut and spring. I would need to see when I can be in the shop, like on a day they won't be busy.

Other than that, I don't mind an install party at all.

 

I would like springs installed, count me in if there is something set up.

 

The problem is that you still need the mounting hardware/bump stops etc from the factory assembly so you still need to take it apart to use everything on the aftermarket springs/shocks. It took about 4-5 hrs for myself and another knowledgable forum member to do my Konis/MS springs with nothing but hand tools and a floor jack/jack stands.
