Places in and around Chicago

[EATsleepJDM]

are there any shops in and around chicago that can put in lowering springs for a low price?the only place that i know that does stuff like this is one 6.yea i understand that i will be able to do myself but it may take very long since i only have hand tools.

[4g63lover]

yeah one6 is pretty much your best bet. mark is pretty easy to ask a deal from.

actaully the 7G all you need is hand tools

for the front it's 5 bolts/per assembly and the back 3 bolts/per assembly

front =
3- 12mm nuts (strut mounts)
1- 14mm bolt and nut
1- 12 or 14mm nut for the sway bar endlink

back=
2- 12mm upper shock mounts(behind seats)
1- 14 or 17 bolt on the rear bottom shock mount


basically have 10,12,14,17mm sockets and the same size open wrenches, ohh and alot of pb blaster!

took me and proto 1.5 hours to do it in a high school parking lot. took that long because of endling nuts not wanting to move

naw. he's a Megan distributor so he usually will be willing to give you a deal on Megan products. you can order them through phone and tell Mark that your Jigz's friend and you drive a Galant and you need springs and installation.

here's the number, 847-593-9490

[EATsleepJDM]

did you use a spring compressor when changing it?

i had entire assemblys ready. meaning a whole other set of suspension. but spring compressors are cheap. it's also very dangerous compressing springs.

if you don't fell comfortable doing it just get them installed
