Where can i get lowering springs installed?

I'm looking for a place that will do it for cheap. I'm installing eibach sportlines in my 93 civic hatch. I know you guys are gonna say do it yourself but i have no clue on what or how to do it.

Actually no, I wouldn't recommend doing springs yourself...

Unless you have a spring compressor I wouldn't go anywhere near those things, despite what Jugglez says about shooting the old springs off into a box with towels or whatever.

Call Altech Performance - 416-539-0240

They are located at Dufferin and Dupont in TO

Regards,
OK

Getting the springs out is the least of your concerns (and yes you can shoot em against a brick wall ) What makes it difficult is getting seized nutz and bushings off. If you don't have access to a torch this is almost impossible to do.

If you're in Scarb, head over to Speedtech, they're not too far from you.

spring compressors are easy if you have the time to use them
i did my own coil overs and it was a hastle but still not to big of a deal to pay someone to do it. If you want help man PM me and we can figure it out. Its not hard just time consuming

ya its not extremely hard to do your own drop with the proper tools. tho i agree with OK that the nut on the top of the strut can be pretty damn dangerous and i myself have had a close call. the spring might seems small and old, but its still got some juice!
