Default UPS man left me a surprise today




Got the KYB shocks in today for a Supra, and the Tein S-techs I got about a month ago. Now to just find a local shop that will touch lowering suspension instead of just OEM replacement.

Ouch, posted about having the install done on a local car forum and a guy that runs a shop about 30 minutes from me said he'd have it done in a day, $400 including alignment...that sounds a little ridiculous to me, for $400 I'd learn to do it myself, then just pay someone to align it.

$400 is very high. The shop that did mine charged $125.

do it yourself, youll be very happy you did it just requires a helping hand to pop the oem out and a couple hours to do, maybe a day,

Been looking for a DIY on it other than the one on here in the DIY Thread since all the pics don't work.

+1 DIY! It never hurts to save some money, plus you learn something new and get that nice feeling of accomplishment

i did my coilover change out by myself in like 3 hours with a lift. hardest part was bolting the rears back in because i had the hardest time reaching to get the top hat part in.

All I can say is you will be way happier with new suspension. Mine was like a boat and I am very happy to have update suspension and ride quality.
