Hey guys, for everyone in Jacksonville I was wondering if you felt like putting together a dyno day -- I just a new exhaust in, and I would really like to dyno it (baseline it first prefferably, but I don't really know if I feel like paying $90 to have someone at the shop install the exhaust)? I know Velocity Trends will do 3 runs for $75 (non-group rate), I called Stage6 today and they quoted me $100 for 2 runs (1 before, 1 after install, non-group rate) ... thoughts?

Also, decided not to go w/ the coilovers (actually the seller hasn't been returning phone calls) so I picked up a set of Espelir ASD springs ... I don't really want to do the install on these myself (I read the writeups on installs here, it just seems like a huge PITA) and I was quoted $220 for the install by Stage6 -- does that seem like a good price? I've read that 2 guys can do a spring install w/o a lift or air tools in 2 hours, it seems like a high price to me?

 

We did a Dyno Day at Stage 6 a while back and payed $50. A spring install is pretty easy to do. We really should have a Mod day sometime soon. There are some people here who have done the spring install. Unless you are installing new dampeners, it is pretty easy. Just make sure you have a spring compressor available.

 

I'm definately down for a mod day, and $50 is a much better deal, how many runs did you guys get? How long ago was it?

You can rent a spring compressor for really cheap from Autozone I've heard, I just have no idea on how hard it is to do. I'm down for a mod day in the next week or two, get some beer and food and go to town! ... otherwise, if anybody just wants to help out with a spring/driveshaft spacer install next weekend, I'll buy the beer/pizza

 

We got 3 pulls for the $50...would not mind setting up another one, but would much rather wait until it is a bit cooler. Oct or early Nov would be ideal.

 

$220 is about right on the install most will charge $50 to $60 a corner for the job. You will need an alignment too after the install.

I would be down for a nice drive up to stage 6 for a dyno day I have not had a chance to see the place and Mace is a nice guy that knows his stuff

 

I'm also down for a dyno/mod day once I get my S back in shape. Especially w/her new engine that I might be getting! I have a Berk Header just chilling in my living room waiting to get acquainted w/her new home.

 

Are you replacing the dampeners too or just the springs?

 

stage6 installed my springs... 220 isnt bad and they to awsome work.. i payed a bit less because i know a coupe people that hooked it up .. but if you want it done right without any problems i would recomend them...

 

I was looking at getting a VAFC, does this really help or just look good?

 

Spring install is pretty straight forward if you have ever lowered any kind of honda. Only thing that made the S harder is the driver rear. I would be willing to help if you guys wanted to plan something.
