shop for installing shocks/springs/bags/lifts

Recommended Posts

I'm still new to Columbus - don't really know where to go to not get 'beat' by a shop

 

I've had great experiences with 'mad hatter exhaust' - great guys at reasonable prices

 

 

I'm putting new springs, shocks, air drag bags and spacers/lifts on my car

 

taking off the old air shocks (hate them - leaking...etc)

 

It's easy if i take it to a shop and they have a lift

 

Shouldn't take but 20 minutes to install - a bolt on each side of the shock and bolt the new one one

maybe 20 minutes a side....

 

At most, might have to use a spring compressor to slip the new springs in after i put the spacer in (a 4" platform the spring sits on, to lift the rear end of the car a little to get some meat under it)

 

 

anyways, any suggestions?

 

I've even got no-hop bars i wouldn't mind installing

i could do it all - but i'd freeze my ass off crawling under it while it sat on jack stands - i'd rather pay someone a few bucks and save my cusswords for another week

front springs you can take the lower control arm down at the frame, then you dont need a spring compressor, or to touch the ball joint.(i do it all the time, makes it easy)

 

we are 2 doors down from mad hatter. first link in my sig..call and speak with mike.

rear coil springs, not front springs :)

 

 

i'm wanting to put a 4" lift kit in - might require a compressor to get the springs in there with that

 

 

it's a '66 GTO

the coils aren't even bolted to the axle

 

 

literally, 2 bolts :)

 

I had them apart about a month ago and should have replaced it all back then

I put new springs in it at the time - was hoping they would be enough to lift the rear end

 

evidently, i need the spacers

(and the air shocks are 30 years old - probably just need replaced)

 

 

and i got a good deal on air drag bags to put in the springs

topic says installing shocks/springs/bags/lifts

 

any of the above. we can swing it.

and you spoke of a spring compressor(making me think front as well).

 

and a 4" spacer...they may be tough to fit
