Randy did my install, and probably the only one that took him hours due to no spring compressor... So he need to get one and they are not free

Most shops in OC charge anywhere from $75 to $100
But the best work I have ever seen done was Randy's work
So, $40 is definitely worth it

Plus you will get the comic relief from Jason, no other place offer that to a customer

BTW, the pride is still there other wise he would charge at least $75 to do the job
And it is those people without the pride tries to take advantage of TSW free spring install!!!

usually i can compress the spring by hand while the other person tightens the nut, but the 1" tanabees are really stiff and even with 2 people pushing it, it just wont go. Thus you need to use a compressor.

I'm the one that usually tightens the nuts.

Let's see you guys make a joke out of that.






I know, I'm asking for it.
