Default Help!! Need to find a shop to have lowering springs installe

What's up PNW

I am trying to enlist the aid of the PNW SL men and women. Can anyone give me any ideas of a shop to have my new Tein H-techs installed?

You know I'm looking for cheap quality work but you can always get both so I'm looking for ideas within the Salem or Portland Oregon area. Preferably within Salem since I live in the boonies therein.

Thanks for any help and much love to SL

Yeah, as stated above, try to hook up with someone who knows how and help them, will give you experence and get your springs on, thats what I did, had a buddy from work who use to work on cars for a living help me, plus it goes faster with 2 people.

Hey that's funny Melissa! If I could I would hook you up and hook myself up(by marking them up $25 hey free enterprise ya know...) but I got this set new from a guy in town who wrecked his Tc the day he ordered them We're talkin sad business and no return policy. Another man's pain is another man's new springs.

1.9" drop in the front, 1.5" in the back and i assume this is after the springs settle. I wanted to go lower than the TRD springs slightly so it worked out well.

As robbiej said I would like to pay less and learn more. I've done a spring install on an Eclipse GSX but I have neither the tools nor the memory to do it by myself now . I'll wait to see if downhillspec or wedrivescions replys to this thread. I'd like to get to the M&Gs without my Tc being too stock... thanks all

It's all good Heather. I like your rims also but for me personally I think a set of polished or chrome deepwell rims always look great with blue. Even better with BBM RS02. NOW BACK ON TOPIC!!!
