Affordable springs installation in the KOP/Montgomery PA area?

Hey guys,

Just picked up a set of H&R sports springs and was looking for a shop with affordable pricing for installation? A month or 2 ago I called Vac Motorsports and Brian quoted me $180-220 and PSI Proformance quoted me $250. Now that I got the springs and called back to get an appointment VAC wanted $700ish and PSI wanted $450ish.....

Im located in Skippack PA and if you guys know any reliable shops in my area that can do it for $200-300 price range. Please let me know!

I'm up in NEPA, about an hour or so from you. Was thinking about doing mine in a couple weeks. Could probably hammer them both out pretty easily with an extra set of hands. Haven't done springs on an F30, but I've done full suspensions on Subarus and Infinitis multiple times. Every car is similar when it comes to suspension so we could make it happen.

Could save you a few bucks. I have the garage, tools and some decent experience. Anyway, let me know if you're interested and we can put a tentative deal/plans together.

This would be possible even if I have no experience with lowering cars? Haha

If my weekends weren't so jammed I'd offer to help both of you.

Have you talked to R/T Tuning?

Yeah, I've talked to them before and they were no where near the $200-300 range I was looking for. If you were to help me out on a weekend bro? How much would you charge man?

R/T Tuning isn't cheap but I know they're close to you and they did nice work mounting tires for me.

I've got a pretty nice garage set-up and LOTS of tools. Most of my car knowledge is S2000, Honda / Acura related but I'm sure installing springs on a 328 can't be too difficult. Plus we'd have my 435 to compare if necessary.

Have you found a DIY on here that I could look over? I'm in 18067 if you wanna see what your drive would be like.

Also, for the past 3 years, bi-annually, I have an S2000 specialist come here and we have an all S2000 tech weekend. Right now we're considering Oct. 15-18. Maybe you'd like to crash that party? If you can wait that long. If you can't wait, maybe you and I can arrange something sooner. Sept 18-20 might work for me.
