Default Bought Coilovers have some questions

I bought myself some Vmaxx coilovers at waterfest and i want know know how hard they will be to install on my own. I called up a meineke and they are charging 450 to install them. I'm not sure if that is a fair price but i also wanted to ask if anyone in new jersey or new york knows of a good shop to put them in.

Pay The Devil half that quote + a case of yeungling and I think everyone will be happy

If you arent the DIY kinda guy, then don't start with this job.

After you do it once you could probably cut the install time in half. I took both front coilovers out this weekend, trimmed the bumpstops and had them back in the car in an hour. Not too bad.

I was in the same boat as you in March. The shop wanted $300. That was enough motivation to do it myself. Three days later I was low (I didn't have some of the right tools )

Just do it yourself, it's pretty simple.
