Thumbs up Coilover Install

I just got some BC Racing coilovers in the mail today and I am looking for a shop that isn't going to take me to the bank with charging to install them. I know it is a fairly straight forward install. Anyone with suggestions I would want to get get the car aligned after the install.


Anyone deal with Axiom?

Thanks


So far I have gotten one response of 300 for an install on craigslist.

It only takes about 1 hour for install. I could show you how/help you install them for free. It is a very easy job.

Axiom motorsport in Tacoma/lakewood. The owner had a S2000 so he knowledgeable about the car. You can haggle him down for price; just tell him you shop there all the time. He can probably do it for you for around $140. Request Randy(Asian guy) to do the job as he is very good mechanic and takes pride in his work. The other guy(white guy) takes short cuts whenever he does the job.
Number (253) 722-1012. remember to haggle down price and tell them you shop there all the time . Adress can be googled.

yes coil overs are probably the easiest thing you can do to your car. you do need a second pairs of hands to tighten up top bolts. my gf helped me for 5 min and full installation took about an hour in my garage with jack stands.

Do it yourself. Will probably take about 2 hours if you have never done it and you don't have a lift.

Alignment afterward would be necessary. Make sure you get the ride height where you want before you get it aligned.

same.

They have a new rack so slammed cars aren't an issue either.
