h&r springs review and shop recommendation

[ryuji16]

h&r sport springs... theyre awesome. even drop from front to rear, 2-2.5 finger gap. just right for a daily driver. hitting bumps, it feels like stock. hitting corners, definitely does not feel like stock. however this might be due to the fact that i also have a sway bar. and i just got new tires too.

a few shop recommendations for socal 626 people:

bear frame and wheel
glendora, CA

-awesome place. did my springs and alignment in less than 2 hours. i dont know if you guys think that is long or short, im just not used to having someone do such good work in such little time on my car.
-these guys are very thorough with their alignments. camber/caster/toe, 40 bucks for the front, 80 for 4 wheel alignment. maybe even less depending on what car you have.
-they seem to know their shit.
-also have locations in la puente and rosemead, im sure theyre good shops too, but ive never been to them


rent-a-wheel
glendora, CA (right down the street from bear frame)

-good place for tires/rims. sell used stuff, and financing is available on everything they sell.
-got me a set of falken ziex 512s for 78 per tire, mounted and balanced. sounded like a pretty good deal to me so i went for it.
-good deals on rims and tires (if you pay it all off on the spot and dont do the monthly stuff)
-friendly people




i regret not starting off with suspension modding. lots of money wasted on... other stuff.

always start with suspension mods, kids! (and alignments right after!)

[will post updates if my struts blow]

H&R= no complaints here

and suspension mods are definately the way to go, most bang for the buck nice work, lets see pics!

was it really expensive? i thought it was a fair price... seeing how much other places charge around here. and then they take forever.

you know what im gonna take pics right this minute, ive been itching to. brb

[ryuji16]

a modest but even drop, just the way i wanted. hopefully my struts can hold up.

nahhh.. alignment is about $79-89
If you get some coupon in the mail, then it's $69.
That is the cheapest I have seen

nice.
was thinking about putting tein on my car.
looking at about 500-600$ for springs, struts, mounts and alignment + self work.
