Auto shops to install springs

[Shat2]

I was just wondering where u could get springs installed for a good price and also where to get allignments. Can u get allignments at Mazda of Toronto?

[elt09]

im pretty sure u can get ur alignment checked at MoT... that\'s where i\'ll be headed once i find the time

just FYI.. depending on your drop, a shop may NOT be able to do a proper alignment (or at all)

Motor Workshop, U-2, 19 Laidlaw (Hwy 7/McCowan)

I\'ve dealt with this guy (Vincent) before. Good price and service :). Autoexe had his springs and shocks/struts installed there a few months ago.

I\'ll have mine installed tomorrow or Sat. We may get a better deal if we go \"together\" :D

it doesn\'t how mild the drop (or rise) is, it\'ll change the toe/camber angle; thus an alignment is necessary

actually I think install of springs is even less. $150. The other price is for coilovers cause it involves a little more work. I\'m not too sure if you need alignment after installing new springs but you are changing the supension geometry so I\'m guessing it\'s better safe than sorry.

The alignment is for the front... as we all know... the rear is not adjustable..

My front was aligned and my rears are still in spec. with the H-Techs.

Great choice in spring. I never heard of anyone being disapointed with Tein.
Some might want a more agressive spring. But Tein is perfect for very spirited driving while being civil on normal roads.

If you guys are not happy with the pricing you are getting for a spring install, I\'ll do it for $100. I\'ve done a few 6\'s, a cavalier, and a few others. I have all the tools to do the spring install but no alignment machine. I should take about 3 hours.

You may want to add where they have to go (unless you come to them) ;)

That\'s up to them really. I\'ve done installs at other peoples homes for them. I prefer to do it at my house in case I need a tool that I forgot. The main problem I found with doing something at their place is that they\'ll tell me they have a tool and then I get there and that\'s not what I was talking about. My place is located at Keele & Rutherford. About 10 mins from the 400.
