So I met a guy who will install H and R springs for me for 360 out the door cash.

I met him and he has referrals and it seems like he knows what hes doing.

Is this a good deal?

Sanny,

Let me know how your install goes. I'm interested in having it done as well and live in the L.A. area.

Will Do, this is in Orange County tho. Just FYI, but when they come in I'll take pictures after install and tell you my overall impression of the guy/install.

Check in with KWiK. He's done several MB's now and charges less than what you're looking at.

I actually just emailed KWIK right now. Lets see how he responds. I know alot of people i can refer to him. If his rates are indeed better.

I emailed the wheel supply, and their rates were higher and they kinda were slow in responding. It seems they support eibach. I didn't get a good feeling with them at all.

So I got my car lowered last friday for the 360+20 Spring Pads. I love it!! Here is the pic:

Also his name is Wayne in Huntington Beach. I highly recommend him fast and realy knows MB. Please email me if you would like his number.

the ride is awesome. im using stock shocks. i get no body roll going around corners it stays pretty flat. if anything the tires will give but thats kinda cool, hee hee. firm and not bouncy or anything like that.

the installer said that the shocks will go sooner with these springs. i dunno, i dont drive much anyways.
