So my local Big- is qouting me $600 to instal Springs really? is that way over priced its seems like it. Les Shwab won't even install unless I buy the springs from them. Anyone know someone or a place that isn't going to charge out the ___ or is that price actually right.

 

hoyl crap! thats a ton! im sure some peeps would be willing to help you out here. i would offer buuuut i dont know how to do a tc just xb haha

 

Well I'm in Livermore and I'm off on Wed's and Thur's if anyone is game let me know You can attack the beer fridge since I can't lol(damn celiac bs) and I can grill up anything ya want(within reason lol) My garage is pretty well stocked with tools and a compressor just need the spring compressor which i can rent for a local shop I'm sure

 

If your willing to come to the west bay area I have a shop that did the swap on our project xD...

Agundis - 650-244-9607 speak to Patrick and tell him Thomas at MicroCar Magazine sent you

 

For the spring install, I highly recommend Gabe at:
Precision Muffler & Brake
1339 Minnie Circle
Milpitas, CA 95035
408-263-8474
Gabe's ScionLife username is Stylis, but since his xB burnt to the ground he isn't here nearly as much.
He charged $150 for my xB.

 

I also second Gabe. He had installed my coilovers as well and also removed my Hotchkiss springs. Besides that he can make a custom exhaust for you

 

its all up to you...

For the spring install, I highly recommend Bernie at:
Concept Muffler
1155 San Mateo Ave.
San Bruno Ca 94066
<650> 588 . 8337

He installed my springs and shocks for $80 and got em done in an hour.
Ive brought in so many of my friends and they were all very satisfied with his excellent work.
Bernie has also done both of my custom exhausts for a very good price.
He will repipe your exhaust for only $100.
BTW, bernie and his partner Mo are both master toyota techs.
=D

the choice is all up to u.

 

hmm both sound tempting just got my borla axel back installed a new midpipe maybe nice

 

-gabe knows his scions. I got my shocks/springs/swaybars/strutbar. all that for about $250. hell of a deal.

-I even had problems with the suspension about a month later (some type of loose rattle?) I took it back, it wasn't any of his work that he did though, hell we couldn't even figure out what the noise was, but he took my suspension apart and put it back together, and the noise was gone. free of charge, since he said he didn't really do anything. again gabe is an amazing guy. highly recommend him. imma go to him to install a trd exhaust and doc I shortshifter.

 

did u try modacar?

Gabe is the man! Percission Muffler

Cool I'll be in soon, but instead of springs, I ended up going with some sexy coilovers =) I may have you throw together a new midpipe for me too while I'm at it LOL, Spending my commission check before it even gets here LOL

 

tried calling precision muffler all day but didnt get any answer anywer else i cud get my coilovers install?? BTW its the raclend coilovers.. how much you guys think to install em?

 

Saturday installs are only by appt. at Precision, Gabe works Monday-Friday & has a family. If you need a Saturday install, you have to schedule it in advance. If he doesn't have any appts. already scheduled he spends the weekend with his family. Call him and you will not be disappointed with the quality of his work or his prices.

 

how much wud he charge me for it thou? and how long?

 

You have to call him & ask. I have no idea what differences are involved with coilovers, but he installed my Tanabe springs (front with struts & rear in less than 1-1/2 hours for $150. He's also done full air ride on the 2nd-Gen so I can guarantee that he knows what he's doing. Talk to him before you consider going anywhere else.

 

i see tnx bro!

 

Gabe does all my install...great guy and good price!
