Ok my TEIN CS coilovers are on the way! A few questions for the CL vets.
1) How much should installation cost?
2) Does anyone know a good install shop in VA/DC/MD that they would recommend?

 

I think this thread might be better on a regional section, since labor rates are not going to be the same nationwide.

 

congrats Auto....mines on its way too , Gordon gave me a tracking and its arriving this thursday, another

 

Your are going to be one very happy camper...Whats next?

 

Well I have a short list of items that have been sitting around since last year waiting to be installed.

Drilled/Slotted Rotors
Calipers will be painted blue
PS2 install
Now the TEIN CS
and the new rims and tires that I ordered from D2. Those should be arriving to D2 any day.

I AM FAILING MISERABLY AT CUTTING DOWN MY SPENDING ON THE LEX WITH THE WEDDING TWO MONTHS AWAY!!

 

..............same here

 

congrats... your car is going through some major changes... and tasteful changes might I add.

 

I paid 200 bucks for the install... DOn't know if thats good or not...

 

Way to go can't wait to see the drop

 

I bought some Tein CS and they been sitting in the box for 2 months. During the 2 months I did a lot of research on removing the front shocks and coils on a GS. Yesterday it was raining and I decided to install the front coilovers. I took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to complete the job for the front. The hardest part was trying to figure the height of the car. When I have time this week I will start the back shocks. The rears look like it will be harder than the front. I hope that is not the case.

 

Installation should be around $150 to $200. If you post this in the regional forum maybe someone there can recommend a good shop

 

or you can pay twice that at the dealer like I did
btw-congrats automan, good choice.

 

the rears aren't too bad...I thought they were easier than the front, but i was doing a spring swap.

 

Twice? thats alot, I hope they did a great job
