(Hou) Good installer

karlosw · 07-26-2011, 01:51 PM

Does anyone in the Houston area recommend a shop to install springs? When I had my VW there were shops recommended by the community to get work done. Being new to the Z community Id like to know if there are any Preferably in NW area but will travel if they are highly recommended. Good job at a good price.

Thanks!

Thanks for the response neveucd, I'll check them out.

Honestly I did all the spring installs on all my past cars, I think I've gotten lazy in my old age.

I'm on the NW side. I'm sure any shop can do it but I prefer to give my money to the local shops that cater to the Z (import) community and have a good reputation for price, workmanship and customer satisfaction.

I would say PowerFab. However I like AwesomeZ in Humble.

Baker Tuning has done 3 of my buddies springs and they have a laser alignment machine to perfect the process

karlosw · 08-01-2011, 09:19 AM

After looking at the 370z Suspension I realized I could do this with my eyes closed. So I went ahead and threw them on early saturday morning then took a drive to Austin to visit a friend which helped them settle in. I do have to say the swift springs definitely make the car feel more nimble. They're not soft like the OEM springs yet still comfortable. Plus its just the right amount of drop. I'll probably swing by Baker mid-week to get an alignment done.

Thanks everyone for your input.

Just had my first real experience w/ Baker Nissan / Baker Tuning btw. They installed my new LTH's yesterday. Jason (the tech there) does top notch work, the prices were very reasonable, and the customer service was great. I highly recommend them
