Default Spring Install Shop

ok so i just got my eibach pro kit, and the bmr adjustable panhard bar and brace should be here soon. i want to find a shop that can install everything and then align it all at one time and in one place. my only off the top thought is pepboys, but they sound kind of too run of the mill and maybe they havent done lowering before. so my other option is to go to a shop i know can do the suspension stuff, they have installed springs and stuff before, then take it to a tire shop to get it alligned?

so has anybody used pepboys?????? or any other all in one shop. im in orlando if someone knows of a good shop.

thanks

Dear 05GTSilver,

Go to a trusted muffler shop that also does springs and shocks...

Like "Midas, etc" but ask the technician if he has ever installed springs and a pan hard rod on any other car before you trust him to do the job...

I don't know if they have the machinery to align the axle after the job...

I, too am thinking about buying springs and a rod but have the same questions as you do...

Best of Luck, Dave

Any reason why you wouldn't do it yourself? It took me and a buddy 3hrs from start to finish (including realigning the rear with the BMR adjustable panhard rod). The only expense was the $60 to rent the spring compressor. It's a fairly simple job. Just curious.

MTAS,

Your time to completion was pretty good, but $60??? You can BUY a good spring compressor from Sears for $39!

Cheers

I got it from PepBoys - basically you pay for the thing, but the ticket is set up as a rental. When I brought it back the next day, I got my $60 back

Autozone will rent them also. It took me and some friends about 4 hours and a case of beer to lower my stang.
