Where to go in S. Puget Sound for suspension install? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Teddydog · 10-13-2009, 03:49 PM

I just ordered Eibach springs and sways for my Camaro and now need to choose a shop to install them. I live in Dupont, WA, so between Olympia and Tacoma is best. I work in Gig Harbor, so that'd be easy, too.

I know this install isn't rocket science, but I do want someone who will do a good job and be careful with the car and their work. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Corvette and High Performance in Oly/Tumwater can help you if you want to head south. 360-754-7890

I agree with CHP they are great but have a high shop price.

also you might want to check out having some friends help you with that lol. it be cheaper & a fun time doing it.

Teddydog · 10-14-2009, 09:18 PM

Thanks guys. Would rather not pay Corvette shop rates! Any other thoughts?

as I said get together with a bunch of guys, with someone with a welder & get lots of beers lol.

Teddydog · 10-14-2009, 09:53 PM

I'm sure I could do it all (done springs before on my 3rd Gen Camaro), but don't really have the time. I've read that the front sway is a PITA.

Why in the world would we need to use a welder? I have a MIG, BTW.

not many people own welders lol, I have one that has never been pluged in

Teddydog · 03-08-2010, 10:53 AM

Bringing this back up to the top to see if there are any more suggestions. I've had the parts for months and I'm finally ready to have the work done! Thanks.

don't know of any local shops to you. I had mine done in Everson, WA, $248 for springs/sways and alignment.

camarossowner · 03-08-2010, 07:19 PM

I installed my kit in less than four hours in my garage. Then had the alignmnt done at max rpm in bremerton. I could install your kits for about 200.00 if that sounds good to you.

i just replaced my springs with the eibachs took me 45 minutes in my shop,any good shop can do this do get fooled into the performance shop thing,

just my two cents

Teddydog · 03-09-2010, 11:32 AM

Thanks, guys. My only hesitation on doing it myself is that I've read that the front swaybar is a real PITA to get out. Also, working in my garage is pretty cramped and it would surely take me all day moving it in and out, jacking and unjacking, etc. Since it is my daily driver, it really needs to get done in a weekend at most. This work just doesn't feel like it is worth my time (not that it would be technically difficult).

Rob

Teddydog · 03-11-2010, 05:00 PM

OK, Clay. I talked to Matt at Goodneighbor and they are going to give it a go on Saturday for me. Just FYI, labor rate is $92.50 per hour.
