install them yourself
..... here i have a full write up for you

1. buy tools
2. remove wheel
3. observe suspension for 10 full seconds
4. go take a nap, by now your most likely tired from all the thinking
5. install the damn coilovers

imo, coilovers are even easier to install then an intake for the simple fact that the bolts are ginormous. coilovers are like the feakin megablocks of car parts.

must be some dayum nice megans, plated in gold...

it's super easy, i'm thinking you can even rent all the tools necessary from your auto parts store...

!Zar! · 01-04-2007, 12:42 AM

This should've been moved to regional.

But if you want, I'll install them if the price is rite. Pm me if you're interested.

khmerguy618 · 01-04-2007, 12:43 AM

it takes an hour with handtools, max. 6nuts on top in front 4bolts on the bottom. the rears are 4 nuts in back and 2 bolts.

sooo simple

if you want to do this weekend and needhelp send me a pm.

He gon' bring me along. LOL. I'll HELLA do it for money, hollar at us.

RightWheelDrive · 01-04-2007, 03:14 AM

Judging by how you don't know how to install your own coilovers, you probably thought that getting the "racing" coilovers would be better. I'm just gonna assume your gonna just be daily driving this to a bouncy ride to the supermarket. I'll install them for $300+shipping.

Exact directions I would give you. From your sig it sounds like you just got cash to throw away. i would advise you to do some searching around online BEFORE you buy parts. Those Megans cost you too much, and your S15 front end was waaaay to pricey unless you ordered all brand new parts from Nissan.

Do you have ANY car skill? If so go spend some of the cash on a basic set of Craftsman tools (metric) and start wrenching!! Best way to learn about your ride is to get dirty.

Okinawandrifter87 · 01-05-2007, 10:55 AM

+ 1 for wrench time.. its just as important as seat time.. gotta do it your self.. but help is great and nothing is wrong with it. Just ask and search it out.

drew935 · 01-05-2007, 11:10 AM

LMK if you want them installed. I'm in San Jose. $150 cash only

irax · 01-05-2007, 11:13 AM

if you were in so-cal id install them for you for 200 bucks

!Zar! · 01-05-2007, 01:15 PM

Falkon240 and I are also willing to help you with install and set your ride height as well as preload. So that your car won't suck as much as someone who just tosses them on.

***FaLKoN240*** · 01-05-2007, 02:40 PM

Plus you've seen my car, so you KNOW we'll do the coilover install right. Haha.

trsilvias13 · 01-05-2007, 04:09 PM

I'll do it too. Count in me scott. I just install coilover on my s13. This like the 7th coilover set I install on my personal cars.

*ManoNegra* · 01-05-2007, 04:31 PM

If you're going to pay for installation might as well look up a racing suspension shop in you're area and have your car corner balanced at the same time.
Hope you already have RUCAs TC rods if you're planning to go low.

redsuns3838 · 01-05-2007, 04:45 PM

DL the FSM and google for "coilover install 240sx" if you cant install coilovers urself, your pretty much screwed in life.

theicecreamdan · 01-05-2007, 04:46 PM

I'll drive up from so cal, $100 driving fee
I'll bring my tools and install them for another $100
I'll adjust your coilovers for another $100
I'll adjust your camber and toe for another $100

I'm legit

MavericStephenc · 01-05-2007, 04:55 PM

TipStylez · 01-06-2007, 03:01 AM

Il install them and make fun of you for paying that price, while installing them, free of charge.

And im guessing your one of them ricers that buys the most expensive parts (even tho it dosnt line up or match the lines of your car) for braiging rights at the street races? PLAYA PLAYA
