I have some coilovers coming and I'm thinking of having Gabe install them. How long does the whole process of installing them take and how much does Gabe charge for this kind of work?

i'll let gabe tell ya pricing on coilovers..

but those don't take tooo extremely long to install as you just kinda plop them in (no need to disassemble the stock strut/spring assembly or anything)

but uhh... adjusting them properly is gonna take some time.. esp. if you want anything specific

good thing is that Auto Innovations is right next door to Gabe for alignment.

Great work, VERY reasonable $$, and as a bonus there's a really good alignment shop right next door.

The install was really easy; all I did was stand around talking for an hour and a half, then hand over $$ to Gabe.

Coilovers for a tC depend which kind I am installing. Do they have pillow top? EDFC? Zeal top and bottom hub adjustments? I really need to know, because of the time that it takes to adjust the coilovers before they go in and after I have you drive it around the block and adjust them again. Price range goes from 170.00-190.00 all labor. Let me know.
