Looking for a shop to work on suspension..

now, i'm not a complete turd regarding this however, i'm just tired of messing with it.. lost my will to do anymore work with shocks, springs.. long story.. ugh..

anyways, i'm looking for a shop who will put my car back to stock with some springs instead of chitty shatty coilovers that I put on yesterday.. LDG fee is way too high for me, helix maybe my last option.. anywhere around here who are willing to do it for cheap and have some knowledge about minis?

btw, any one have rear stock strut assembly for sale? my last ones had at least 54k on it.. so they were going down hill anyways..

please let me know.. thank you all in advance..!

Why don't you two go to the shop together, have the suspensions swap in one day.

i do have struts that works however, rear top parts are all drilled to fit koni struts.

even i myself with not a variety of tools did it in 3~4 hours, taking my time with a buddy.. so i don't see ANY REASONS for any shop to charge you or me for 5-6 hours, totalling upto $600 or whatever at the end..

i tried to contact helix but failed so i will see how it goes.. might have to do it on my own once more. my buddy will kill me tho hahah done it with him like 3 times already...

I don't know what they charge for labor, but these guys are not too far from where you live.
