How much did it cost you guys to drop your max? For all 4 springs. Or for just the fronts. Anyone around the central jersey area know of a place where i can do this for a fair price? I went to midas and was told that the fronts would go for over a little 200. Let me know fellas...

 

Parts or labor? Not sure that your question is very clear... but I'm assuming you're talking labor....

I got all my parts used... $165 for struts, $100 for springs... install cost me $125 but if I had the time, I coulda done it myself for free (with a buddy or 2)... this is for the complete suspension, not just the front... don't pay anything over $200 for all 4 is my take...

 

it's not a good idea to just put the springs in. you'll possibly blow out your OEM struts.

He has prices listed of the various drops for the max on his site.

but seriously, not much about 5-600 depending on what setup you get, new/used? also, coilovers are 700+ depending on which brand you get. If I were to start all over again, I would def. get a set of coilovers.... they are worth the money, and they nice.


for not installing lowering springs on your car without new shocks.... you will blow them. save your self time and money down the line by doing it right the first time.

 

Look at the northeastern section here. A couple ppl in NY do suspension installs, I had mine done in Northern NJ by Tom (njmaxseltd) for a reasonable price back then. I believe he now charges $125 for a complete suspension install which is very reasonable. Click here for more info/options

EDIT: assuming you were talking about labor.
Parts cost me ~$450 (Teins + Tokicos)

 

One guy i know got his installed all four for 200. There is prolly places that would cut better deals. It's not a very hard process but ive never done that job.

 

Oh yeah, that too....

 

Maxspeed Springs = $85 including shipping
Kyb GR2's = $285 including shpping
Install = Free (I didn't it myself)

 

where did you get max speeds from for 85 bucks? i was looking at getting those with illuminas.

 

I got those in a Group Deal about 2 years ago.

You can get them here for $88.99 but shipping isn't included..

 

i want a maxspeed setup with stock struts. I heard that was ok b/c its a mild drop. Do i stand correct? Should i just do the fronts or just throw all for springs in?

 

i just got mine done today at www.maximumtuning.net Jeff and dan are pretty cool and very knowledgeable about our cars and his is siiiick!!


shocks - $260
springs $160
labor - $160
_______
Total $580

 

If you go look in the Regional forums, you might find a list of local Org members who would be willing to help you for free or for less money than the shops in your area. Some of them even accept pizza and beer as payment.

 

I'd do it for pizza and beer... you'd have to drive down here though....

 

pepperoni and corona ok?

 

I'll get the limes...

 

now if only you weren't four and a half hours away i'd take you up on that.

 

I have a good idea about springs(which ones I want) H&R But I'm not sure which struts to go with????


P.S. Have any of you had bottoming out issue because of the drop????

 

hahaha.. ill would have added sausage and xtra cheese if you were near by.

 

how is this brand, is the price to high??????
