I was wondering if anyone would be interested in helping me install my suspension. I got an H&R Cup Kit off another Az member about a month ago and still haven't installed it. I will offer a 6 pack of (your favorite beer here) and some money. I live in Central Jersey so if anyone can help please let me know.

TIA,
John

Air tools are a nice touch aswell.

Do you guys know of any places in central jersey that rent out spring compressors? I called a rental place by my house, but they didn't have any to rent out.

Most rental places or auto places rent spring compressors

Yea i'll try R&S Straus and see if they have any to rent out. Is there a write up on how to remove the old suspension? I'm kinda new to this diy stuff.

I know I rented tools from Autozone previously.

you definately do not want to get the cheapo type where you have to screw it down. unless you have airtools.

I went to a shop near my house. I really didn't feel like waiting any longer to get it done and the other estimates I was getting were like 5-6 hundred

oh my god, jersey's so much cheaper, i can't find anythgn less than 400 for install, and as it is, they knocked 50 off for me bc i've gotten stuff done there previosuly and they sympathize for a poor HS student. wut's a decent price for an install in jersey EVIL?

damn, just alil too late. o wells. there were groupbuy prices for bout 200 bucks at a good shop in jersey. but without the group buy anything in the 200s is a good price. suspension is really basic, 400-500 is the range for clutch installs.

Ask marked001 what he payed to get his done through my connection. I bet you it was around $150 and it was done really fast. I've sent plenty of Audi guys and other cars over to have work done over here for alot cheaper than anywhere else.

Damn bro, sorry I just found this. You should have hit me up, I would have got you squared away and knocked out the timing belt for slightly more than what you paid just for the springs.
