Default Where in Houston????

Guys,

Where in Houston can I have my Hotchkis springs installed? I live in Humble (59N @ Beltway 8) but am usually around the FM249/FM1960 area on the weekends.

Also, please give me a ballpark figure on what the damage will be $$$$$.

Thanks!

Do it yourself and save the money. It's not that hard.

Yeah, I was considering doing that. I have lowered other vehicles of mine in my garage, but they were older vehicles. 1970 Chevy Nova (Hotchkis Springs on front...air shocks rear), 1967 Chevy El Camino (Hotchkis front and rear), 1972 Chevy C10 Truck (Early Classic Enterprises 2.5in dropped spindle and 1.5in springs front...ECE 5in springs rear). Wasn't sure how much different it might be considering all the newer technology since the 70s.

However, if it's very simliar to the jobs I've already done...then I am all over it!

I did mine myself. Very Easy. I replaced the rears, then did the fronts. I did pulled the front struts off and took them to a Suspension shop and they swapped the springs on the struts for me, $30 total to swap the springs. Everything else is very easy. Set aside about 4 hours total work time, plus the time at the susp. shop.

Send me a message if you need any help.

do it yourself, save alot of money. the rears are easy, and if you dont have a compressor take the fronts to a shop because by hand would be a bitch
