endokid if you dont mind taking the drive i could do the install for a fair price, the only problem would be transporting the stock exhaust back. pm me if you're interested

didn't your mother ever tell you to not judge a book by its cover? Just as an fyi i was the service manager at a Firestone for 2 years working on cars everyday, so i am more than capable to install springs and an exhaust. I have changed my exhaust 2 times already, 1/2 hour in and out and the springs should take no more than 2-3 hours with no air tools.

Like I said exotic isn't bad from what I hear. From what I understand they do good work but charge fairly high prices, although $85/hr isn't that bad (granted I had a 944 Porsche for a while and paid close to $100/hr for labor at a very reputable shop). Their estimated time is a little crazy though :thumbdwn:

Also you do realize that west chester is almost 90 miles from harrisburg right?


Edit: perhaps the estimated time isn't that bad then seeing the post above. I was thinking more like 1hr for spring install, but haven't done one myself...

You could most likely do the install in an hour if a lift was available and you had air tools, but the 2-3 hour estimate includes the set up time, disassembly and reassembly.

What exactly do you need the air compressor for if you can do the install w/o it? What's the difference in having a spring compressor vs. not having one?
