Well, its time for some new suspension bits for the GA and I need to know of a good place around here that will put in some new struts, shocks and lowering springs. ---

Don’t I need a spring compressor? PLus, I guarantee I’d fuck up the install somehow, so I’d rather pay a little bit and get it done correctly and with some sort of warranty (if they have any) With springs, I’m thinking either Eibachs or SpringTechs. I want Something that’ll lower the stance, but won’t completely destroy the ride quality. And these two I’ve heard don’t beat you up too bad. Still don’t know what struts and what shocks to go with. ---

i have a set of sprint springs sitting in my room (same as ST’s) and them im going to get the ST/Sprint struts. And im going to install them with help from my sisters BF (which should save me alot) and them im going to pay somewhere like firestone or something to get an alignment. Most of the stuff you need you can rent from like autozone or advance, and i think they just make you give them a deposite for it then when you bring it back they give you your money back so its free. ---

its probably the easiest big mods you can do. like shaggys sig says “knowledge can be learned, tools can be rented, and time can be found. don’t be another credit card mechanic.” [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/suspension-shops/167602.md?page=2)
