DriveHard shop

Has anyone in the lower mainland Vancouver area been to Drivehard? I was wondering if their customer service/skill is trustworthy.

yes they are

i got my coilovers, sway bars, camber arms, HFC done there

they answered all my questions with patience. And they took care of me even after my install. i think they have very good prices in the lower mainland too

How much do CBE + HFC installations usually cost? I contacted DriveHard and they said the total would come to around $300-350 why do I feel like that is a little overpriced or is that usually how much it costs?

Just my opinion but why not try it yourself? Exhausts are pretty basic car job, if you do any of your own work. There's lots of guys who have abd there's lots of DIY on the forum. You could save yourself some money. I did 90% of the work on my old 300zx exhaust was just one of the things to pretty easy! I have not done much/anything major to my 370 yet just gone pay it off quicker then start some mods!

i think 300 is just right. 100 for cat back and 200 for HFC. Since the bolts are are to reach and they are need impact gun to make it come off. Some DIY showed that they were unable to get the bolt off. but i dono why they said it might go up to 350 tho.

The reason why I am not doing it myself is that I am very impatient Lol. Ive been waiting for Tony's products for months and i am going to be very busy for the following weeks and I need my Z as a daily driver. too excited to be able to just watch it sit in the garage for weeks uninstalled LOL
