Thanks for the advice. If I were in Houston I would be next in your line for sure.

I don't mind the DIY but is itmas easy as unbolting and bolting on the new parts?

Almost but not quite. Some minor cutting involved in installing the rear toe bolts (if you're installing them along with the camber arms). I'm not sure if the BC's you have require drilling to install the rear adjusters. It's important that you know what you're doing, have the right tools to do it, and pay close attention to details. If you can handle that, go for it

Jotech has a prety good reputation in this area and frankly $375 doesn't sound too bad to me. If you are going to play, ya got to pay....

Hey, by the way since when is McKinney "South" of Denton? East, ya, but South.....?

.....greetings from Frisco!

Glad I found this thread. I need to have my coilovers, and SPC front and rear kit installed so I'll be giving Jotech a call.

BB it's too bad you don't live in the DFW area.

No don't go to Jotech. I hate that place. They tried to use some old azz bolts when they did some work. Got pissed and told them to replace it with the bolts that came with the coil-overs.

Never going there again.

Haha I have BC coilovers and SPC camber kit too! I installed them myself but if you want a professional to install them, I would recommend Texas Track Works. They work with a lot of cars with BC coilovers and SPC camber kits can do alignments for lowered cars

I got quoted 300 this morning from Jotech to install the Eibach Pro-kits on my sedan. I think the price may have gone up, but it's equivalent to what everyone else is charging.

For anyone stil interested, another place is Xtreme Street Works in Frisco.

Any other places or ideas for the install?

Thanks.
DO NOT take your car there! You get what you pay for. I had some parts installed there (including coilovers) and it was nothing but headaches. Check out http://texastrackworks.com/ instead

Good luck!

Find a local reputable guy to do the install/help you if you want to save cash. The 350z local community for the dfw area is really helpful and have a few guys who does work on the side. But changing out the suspension really is not hard. Especially with if its coil overs it's even more easy than a spring drop.

Just received my Eibach and rear camber kit today, who did you end up going with? Jotech just quoted me $400 for both, plus I'm little North of Frisco so kind of far. Was hoping to find someone nearer.

I actually ended up using a tech at my father-in-laws dealership about 30 minutes east of McKinney. The guy only charged my $300 for camber kits and BC coilovers... Obviously he did me a huge favor...

Samir over at new Image Auto Sports in Garland is doing it for me Monday for $200, obviously a really good price, I'll write up a review and let everyone know how it goes.

Ended up going with New Image Auto Sport, they did a great job at half the price.
Would definitely Reccomend.
