Paypal made be a offer I had to take advantage of, 20% cash back on any purchases made on Ebay and paid for on paypal, up to $100 cash back.
So I order the Tokico Illumina kit with shocks and springs for $572 shipped, final price of $472 after cash back.
Now my question is, is there anything I should tell the local Meineke muffler guy about this install? Is there any other items I should replace while the work is being done? Will I have access to the shock settings or would I have to make a hole on my carpet to access the rear's?

 

tell the muffler guy you want a suspension tech to do the instal they'll know (should) what to do. there's no carpet over the rear strut towers so no cutting needed for adjustments.

 

Wow, how would I be able to get te same offer shook? 20% off sounds good to me.

 

It was a new paypal account which my girlfriend opened a few months ago and never used......Around a week ago we got the email from paypal with the offer. Not sure why and how we got it...My guess its only for new accounts. Its for purchases made between Dec 1st thru the 19th so the offer's about to end

 

Tell the Mieneke tech to make sure he clocks the upper spring perch correctly.
Tell him to look for the word OUT stamped on top of the perch and to make sure it faces outwards and lines up with the struts lower mounting flange.

 

I think.....if you gotta tell the Mieneke "tech" all of this ****.....someone on the org near to you should get paid to do this job.BTW...great buy..im patiently waiting for the ebay 8% to go back up as well.

 

I have no problem having someone on the org doing the job for me.

Anyone in the Boston Area or in Southern NH?

BTW how much will I pay for this job?

 

my guesstimate with Mieneke would be atleast $80 per wheel...i can be wrong.

 

Ya need a spring compressor and know how to use it to DIY. Or ya could get kilt by a flying spring top.

+1 on the clocking. Very important to get that right.

 

My guy in Toronto will do it for $160 cdn, just to give u an idea. He has a small shop though

 

Dang, too bad youi're way over there. The going rate here is $100 for spring/strut install.
