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.

 

Thanks jenkins!!

Darn I am getting tint Sat, guess I will see that later, let me know how it goes.

 

11am is pretty early.. lol. i'd actually have to get out of bed b4 1..

 

that's not early, nyt-owl and i are heading out at 6:30 for tint in carrloton to be first in line.

 

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.

 

I called a Northhaven in Dallas that I googled and was told $80 per wheel!! And I would have to wait until late next week!!

Is there more than 1 Northhaven auto? Phone #?

ummmmmm, I would do them, but i dont have time.. i have done many many many many of springs installs..

I would suggest AP Import Source.. in Lewisville.. 972-820-6995 ask for Paul..

 

Did you get your springs done yet irish?

 

I dont know if there is more than one, but i just talked to my friend and he reconfirmed that he can do it for $85 for all 4 wheels. I will PM you his number.

 

yeah I saw it at the 7 & 8 meet saturday. he got them done, in the words of the Beastie Boys MMMMMMMMMMMMMM DROP... looks great Danny

 

Got picks Irish?

 

i told him that he would like them, i had them on my car and sold them to him. Hey danny ( great name by the way LOl) i just got your message sorry about the delay. U have to make sure to get a alligment and caster camber toe in adjusted in a week. It makes a big diffrence once it gets done. Call me later if u have any ?s thanks for your buisness and i am glad you put them on already.

 

Thanks eclps0. Jenkins...here you go,

- Irish
