Houston, texas eibach spring install???

Anyone in Houston, Texas? I'm looking for someone to install my Eibach Pro-Kit on my 2009 G37 Sedan. I called the dealers from the Eibach website and they all want $300+ to install. Sounds kinda pricey O-o

Anyone know a good place in Houston I can get it done?

I've tried the search feature and have found results from the east (Jersey, N.Y) and west, but no one down hear in the heatbox I call Houston. Please help. Thank you!!!

P.S. - I think i'll be the first with Vertini Concave on the sedan...coming soon.

I'm in Baytown and I do this sort of work. Your best option is DIY since you seem to be frugal. If you don't have the tools, skill, or time, then you're going to pay someone else who has the tools, skill, or time.

I'll PM you my price.

Black Betty PM'd me and his price seems reasonable. But $340, $380, and higher seem high based on the prices i've seen posted on this forum. I understand the proper tools are needed to compress the spring, and the expertise of someone who does this type of work is beneficial, but i'm still not about getting my block knocked off.

Pep Boy's quoted me $400? For a relatively simple install? GTFOH.

By the way people I found two other shops in Houston that will do the job for $200. One place is asaa racing just North of I-10. Asaa Racing
I've read through some other forums, and apparently they install stereo equipment also, and some haven't been too happy with their work. The guy on the phone did sound helpful.


The other is One Stop on Bellaire and Hilcroft. Ask to speak to Johnny. $200 for installation of springs. $260 for springs and alignment. The number for one stop is 713.484.7565.

Good luck if you take your car to AASA. I don't know anything about the other place, ask around among local modders.

I would take Black Betty up on your offer but you live over an hour away (40 bucks in gas) and I would need to get an alignment anyway so I think I'm going to go to a one stop shop (provided its reasonable).
