Im new to the area. I live in baileys crossing area, and I need a shop that can install aftermaket coilovers. Something below $400, if possible.

Background: 90k some miles, stock shocks are leaking slightly, so after failing to find any used stick shocks for cheap, I bought some coilovers. It was cheaper.

I don't race anymore, so my s2k is my daily commute, and my commute is very short.

Eventually, I'll strip this out abd make it into a race car, but for now I need shocks that dont leak, since I have to travel rather far in two weeks.

Problem: all of the bolts on suspension are super stuck. It took me 5 hours to get obe coilover in last night, rear passenger, because it literally took me 2 hours to get the bolts off. I think it's because the cars mileage, plus snow up here, plus I cant give enough torque to the bolts since its not on a lift.

I tried to get the driver side done this morning, and I fought with the sway bar bolt and lost.

Most shops near me are weird, since they refuse to do aftermarket parts install. I guess the profit margin is that good to refuse work.

Anyway, if you can recommend a shop, I'd appreciate it. I'd drive to maryland if I have to, as long as I can wait and it's done the same day, preferably this saturday...

Thanks!

 

I should be more specific. I live in alexandria area, near baileys crossing.

 

message yeaitsahonda, he has a shop in springfield and does good work

 

call triple OG garage in chantilly, they do everything and does nice jobs. good price too.

 

I'm curious is you had all four tires off the ground. Having only one side up my make it very difficult to take the coil overs out. If you feel like making the drive down to Mechanicsville, MD my friend and s2000 owner can d it for you for a small price. He is ACE certified and does a lot of work on many Hondas including s2k's. We had another owner down here last weekend for a header install and fluid changes.

 

All you need is a good impact gun. I can help you switching to coilovers, I'm in silver spring if interested.

 

I agree with not having it off on all four makes it more difficult.

I'm gonna look up how far you guys all are from here, so I can get it done this week. I don't mind the drive, as long as price is decent, and you have a lift.

 

 

I did, and he is busy for next few weeks.

 

Calling triple og today. Hopefully the price is reasonable there.

Thanks guys, for your help.
