What did you pay to have your EP lowered?

[Penguin Aviator]

Just wondering what a reasonable price is to have springs/camber kit installed and aligned. So how much did you pay (labor only, not parts)?

Thanks

case of beer and $50 for the alignment.

i paid $75 my first time, but in retrospect, you're better off just doing it yourself and its not that hard.

find an ephatcher to come help you and learn from them, buy them food and/or beer...

SERIOUSLY take the time to learn, all this car shit, really freaking easy, you just need to learn the simple ins and outs...in my oppinion all you need to work on cars is a service manual, tools, and the ability to read the manual and comprehend numbers (and i mean simple comprehension, like 50=50 so you can set your torque wrench to 50) and follow directions...the way in which factory service manuals lay this shit out anyone can do it

alignment too?

alignment too?

alignments are easy, 2 jack stands a piece of string and a ruler...didnt pay for an alignment until i owned the ep...and only reason i pay to have it done on the ep is because i dont have the time to work on cars right now

Around $50 - $90 for the alignment. For the install, I'd imagine it's around $300-450 to have the shop do it.

Doing it yourself cost money too. And time. If you don't have the tools, you'll have to buy them. If you mess up a part, or take something apart and find something warped/cracked/broken, you have to borrow a second car to get the part. (If it's not a dealer specific part) Otherwise you may have to wait for a mail-order part.

RedSiBaron, I'm not sure how you'd do an alignment at home. For me it's impossible, because I don't have flat land, I have "flat enough" land. And jacking the car up will change the camber and toe. So if the car is in the air, you could zero your toe at full extension of your suspension but once the wheels are on and you settle it back down the toe would be proportional (assuming the bushings deflect at the same rates) but it still wouldn't be zero. And what if you didn't want it at zero? And how do you check the camber?

Ok, if someone around here wants to help me, I'm willing to pay. I'm more of a motorcycle guy, I guess. I have no problem wrenching on my bikes, but cars scare me for some reason.

its real easy man
just get the right set of tools and some time and your set
i installed my springs and camber kit myself.
but the alignment i had no idea so i paid 45bucks

Get a low profile jack
car stands
socket/wrench set
breaker bar
torque wrench

really is all you need, since you work on bikes i suppose you have most of the tools you might need, is super easy there should be a DIY, if not here then go onto clubrsx as it is the same thing.
