place to install springs in norcal?

[paradigm]

I was just wondering if anyone knew a decent place here in norcal to get springs installed for a reasonable price. Would rather not do it myself lol.

check out speedelement.net or check them out in Fremont CA. I'm the first Yaris they've worked on hehe =P

Industrial Dr. Unit B i believe is their location

I've only worked on macpherson struts before (I don't have a Yaris but that's what you have up front), but swapping out the springs was a pretty easy job. Replacing shocks and springs was my first time getting serious with a wrench. I trust my own hands over some shady mechanic who blasts everything together with an air ratchet.. I have yet to find a mechanic I trust.

i know its not that bad lol, i just prefer not to be out in the heat in my apt complex.

Yeah I know what you mean =p It's really getting hot out here. And all the spiders are flying around on their little strands and sticking all over my car...

Uh, anyway, for any major work, I plan on bringing my car to Chico Raceworks (http://www.chicoraceworks.com/). They just moved from Chico to Fairfield.

They specialize in mr2s, but like I said, springs are nothing to replace. I haven't been to CRW myself, but I've only heard good things about them and they have a great reputation at MR2OC.com (http://www.mr2oc.com) (mr2 owners club forums). No harm in asking if they can do the springs for your Yaris. Just mention you were referred by someone from mr2oc.

ah cool, thnx. yeah, spiders have been floating all around here too. If places still end up charging a crapload my cheap side will kick in and i'll be laying on the asphalt for a few hours next week lol. Speaking of mr2oc, i was about to pick up a sw20 right before i bought this car lol.
