***Suspension Install Reccomendations in DFW area...***

Hello all,

I just picked up a set of BC coilovers, spc camber kits and 20mm spacers. I am currently residing in the North Texas area of McKinney about 40 minutes South of Denton.

Does anyone know of any local shops that have a good reputation that can do the install and perhaps an alignment as well? I am not comfortable installing these items myself since I want to be as safe a possible.

I attempted to get a dealership to perform the install, but the price was going to be crazy high. What cost should I be expecting in order to have all of these services done?

Any advice or install assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I gave these guys a call. They want $300 for coilover install and $75 for camber kit install. This does NOT include an alignment or anything else... I am assuming this is way to much money...

Any other places or ideas for the install?

Thanks.

That doesn't sound too bad, I have had coilovers installed for much more on a different car.

I felt it was a little high... I guess I just feel that I should be able to do it myself, but not very confident...

i usually charge 150 bucks to install everything like that you have listed. I can't do an alignement but this is crazy easy stuff. If you can break the bolts loose you can tighten them up and you will be ok.

I don't know anything personally about this shop. However, this is not a bad price at all for a professional shop install. If you can't/don't want to DIY then expect to pay in this price range for professional quality work. If you have an individual do it, make sure you are getting someone who knows what they are doing and has solid references of satisfied people whose car's they've worked on. If you drive to Houston you could be the latest in a long line of satisfied Betty's Garage G35/G37 customers.
