Gonna give it a week or so to settle before taking it in for alignment. Compared to the Swifts, the factory springs look fragile. :p

So far the ride comfort like stock. Not jarring or rough. One major difference is greatly reduced body roll and the rear end is more planted when taking a corner at speeds you shouldn't be. ;)

I actually may buy RCZ's if he parts it out...depending on how travis' turns out.

What about $125....Teins installed. :tup:

125 for just the install?

Nice. We dropped our cars on the same day. :tup:

I ended up taking mine to a buddy's garage - install went a lot faster than expected when you have air tools. :icon17:

Why? the is pretty cheap to me! Take the most Shops will charge $80 per hr.

Did you see what some Shops quoted "Masa"?

I do it with alignment for $75.

Free when I have the time.

WOW, that is pretty cheap! :tup:

I wounder if you are doing any profit or you do it just for fun....

Mostly for fun. But you can make money doing it at that price if you know what you are doing. My crew only works on cars for enthusiasts, so there is less of an expectation, and thus less overhead.

Just ordered mine too, will be installed in the K Garage for a dozen donuts :p

Blades what did you order?

Swift Springs :tup:

Ahhh sweet, whats the advantage of those?

Lowers your car and its center of gravity. Improves handling.

The springs are stiffer than stock, which reduces body roll, etc. They are 10k F and 10.5K R, as opposed to the significantly softer stock springs that also have a 2k difference F/R-- this helps the car feel a bit more neutral through turns.


The biggest thing is the car looks far more badass without an inch and a half of wheel gap.

Damn, I wish I lived near you guys. The shops up here all charge an arm and a leg. Nissan quoted me $600 for a spring install and $80 for alignment. :shakes head:

Ask around-- there are some pretty inexpensive shops in NY.

Or you could make a day trip to DC and get it done.

Red, you are uber badass, thanks for the info man, eRep given!:tup:

You could always try to find a fellow forum member willing to help. Or at least ask them what shop they recommend for the install. Check out Performance Motorsports in LI. Not sure how their pricing is, but it seemed like a really good shop when i went there.

Hey Jay, if you make it out the next MD meet ask one of us for a ride in it. Most of us are dropped on Swifts with the exception of Kirk who's on coils and Orande who's on H&R's.

The springs keep the factory ride comfort but it reduces under-steer and makes turn in more responsive.

Dude, nice thanks Masa, eRep given to you sir...:happydance:

where do i go for this price?
