a set of coilovers with another set?
Any ideas?
Any ideas?
How long should it take to swap
- Thread starter merex
- Start date
What brand is in the car and what brand are you switching to?
Are the set of coilovers going in fully assembled already?
If all goes easy 2 hours, if they give you trouble add 1 hour
. If the set going in are Koni's and need the perches swapped add one additional hour.
HTH,

HKS are installed now, and i will be swapping for (Fully assembled) Tein RA. I was quoted about $400 including alignment, which I thought was a bit high.
Thanks
Thanks
Using the labor guide on this site (Mitchell) it is 3.8 hrs for the shocks and 1.6 for the alignment. Total= 5.4 x their labor rate plus tax.
If it is a quality shop, with a conscientious tech with computerized alignment that will set the ride height on your new setup, about $400 is not out of line.

I think $400 is a fair price.
Larry's hours eatimate is spot on. But to get proper ride height can take a bit more. 3-4hr labor not including alignment is good for typical install.

Thanks for the info guys. His quote as abouit $400. Funny thing I just discovered this shop the other day, and on a whim asked if they do corner balancing, of course expecting a no answer, but to my suprise they do. Not that I plan to have the car CB, but it would seem to me a good choice if I used them.

Can you help a brother out? What is corner balancing?
why bother with coilovers without corner balancing? have it set properly and leave it alone, unless u are adjusting every so often for a new track. then you would have it balanced for each track individually.
