Hey guys!

I am going to have some Koni yellow shocks installed on my G and I am thinking about doing the rear myself since it's only 3 bolts and its a direct replacement.

The problem is that the Koni yellow fronts are shock inserts and not the full strut assembly so it will require cutting the OEM strut to use the external shell for installation. I also do not have a spring compressor to install the springs on afterwards. So I am thinking of letting a reputable shop perform the installation on the front side. Also not sure if the shop would be familiar with this kind of custom work/installation.

With that said, which shop would you guys recommend?
I heard Z Car Garage and Exact Motorsports are both reputable shops.
What is your recommendation/feedback? Any other shops that I might have missed?

Thanks!

 

hit up weiboy!

 

Thank Kevin but he's looking for a shop.

What up Ting, been awhile. How are you? Hit me up sometimes.

 

Not that I don't trust Eric's skills, just don't know if he is down to do this kind of "surgery" lol.

Plus I feel bad to always ask for his help =)
He helped me out alot since 2008 lol

 

Doing alright man... You?
Haven't been very active on the forum or scene lol

 

LOL i said that cuz im sure youre more than capable for this job.. and plus, i thought all the norcal guys go to you for help...

 

^ oh no! Most of them usually takes it to their dealer or local shop to have most of their stuff installed. I get them only through word of mouth and again I can only do so much since I don't have a huge garage or shop. I'm def investing on a wall mount spring compressor when I buy my house though. Those manual spring compressor only do so much and doesn't work on Eibach springs.

 

Last time I heard you can compress springs with pure elbow grease and bicep powa... what happened man?

 

^ hahaha. I was able to do that cuz those guys springs was used and probably have a blown shock. Now Eibach made a couple more coil for ride comfort it's really hard to compress that thing.

Text me back if you got time rather than posting on here lol. Tell me exactly what needs to be done

 

I texted you earlier lol...
Give you a call later, will take too long to text hahaha

 

Can you take a picture of the koni yellows shocks? If you haven't received them yet i'll be here waiting patiently. I will be tackling this task on my own in the near future.

 

I haven't received them yet... I will take a pix when I do (probably sometime next week).

 

whaaa, i did text you back lol.

 

damn eric, you compress the springs with your bare hands...? yous a BOSS
