Need someone to install H-Sport lowering springs
Hello Mini enthusiasts,
I just purchased some H-Sport lowering springs and I need someone to install them. A few local shops have quoted me over 500 bucs to put them in. I just can't afford that. I can pay but I'm hoping I can pay less then half of that.
I'm based out of San Jose and am willing to travel as far north as Sacramento since I am there every other weekend.
Thanks in advance, :smile:

If your coming as far south as San Diego the Mod Squad will do them for free.
We (actually they as I just buy the pizza) had done four or five sets of springs, sway bars front/rear, short shifters, brakes, etc. and just like working on MINIs. You could drive down and back for less than $500.00
Got time?

Provide me with beer and a garage and we can do this ourselves, if you dont mind gettin your hands a bit dirty of course. I have installed all of my current mods (including H-sport springs, sway bar, and control arms) so I know the installation process well.
I enjoy working on the cars and I will do it for supercheap (like I said, Id even accept just some beer... but good stuff... no MGD or Bud...) I live in Santa Clara (101 and Montague) so you are pretty damn close to me. Let me know if this is an option youd consider.
If you dont have a garage or you dont want to help on the install, my step-dad and I can do it in Tracy. We have all the necessary tools to do the job properly. We will do it for $200.

But really, Ive installed everything on my car (cept for some body work on the front lower aero grill... thanks james
). Im just tryin to help him out... I know how it is to sit there and stare at the springs and just imagine them on the car. $500 is outrageous.... it would probably take us 1-1.5 hours to get all 4 on. I dont see why it would take a shop 6 or so hours (im going by the usual $75/hour) to install them

Thanks everybody
Hey every body!
I appreciate the replies --- its touch to get online with my workload lately.
My springs and swaybar are still sitting in their box. BUT the good news is my new SSR Comp R are sitting pretty on the Mini. And the Fuzion 205/50/16's are riding sticky and soft. Much confidence I have during my commute even with all the crappy rain. The car accelerates and brakes so much differently in a good way, it really does feel like a different animal.
I have not had much time to consider my options. My cousin contacted his buddies on the RSX forums and one offered, but it would much better to work with a fellow MINI enthusiast.
10851cs --- San Diego would be a nice drive....... but I problably won't be to take such a trip for at least a few months, and it's tough to wait so long. I AGAIN appreciate the offer guys.
gosharks --- thanks for the suggestion
jcampos --- i'll send you a pm
Motor safely everybody - the rain sucks!!

I work right by where you live (right next door to great america theme park at the nortel buildings). I don't know any other mini guys in the area and would love to meet up one day. I'm also mechanically inclined and would love to help if needed. I have a 2004 DS/B with 19's on it.
Let me know
