Anybody recommend a good place to get shocks and springs installed?

Better yet, anyone (that has done this before and knows what they are doing) want to make some money? (less than the 800$ the local dealership wants to rape me for)

I really would love to do it myself, but I live in an apartment so I don't really have a place to do it, not to mention it's probably for the best that someone competent be around....just in case.

I had mine installed by some guy in Toms River. He does only installation ($80). It's a little bit too far but he was highly recommended by SCIONRG folks. Let me know and I'll give you his number.

If he does it for 80 bucks it may be worth it. Just would need to find more time to do it.
Yes, I will take info from you. Thanks

I am gonna google the route and time.

It would be the longest trip the xB ever made.

Eric has a shop in Union - close enough to you, or should be.

Union is real close. That would be pretty good. Do you know what Eric would charge?

I pm'd you but it doesnt seem to be going thru.

And what you would charge for install struts/shocks and springs.

thanks again

Eric
I pm'd you.

I was just looking for address and phone for shop in Union.

I am gonna go with just the spring install.


It will be interesting to see the difference when I eventually do get the shocks.

Hey Eric-
Thanks for your help, although I did go to someone else for the spring install I appreciated your effort.

Jeff at Homegrown Performance did the install for 80 bucks. I took the trip down to Toms River.

thanks
