Default Looking for some help with installing coilovers & suspension

I am working 12hrs a day and 6 days a week right now. I am looking for someone that has done this before and that would like to make some side cash. I might be able to provide a lift to do this on. I just don't have the time or energy to do it right now and it's pissing me off looking at all the goodies I have the following: Godspeed coilovers, rucas, toe arms and tension rods. I also have front and rear sway bars too. Please shoot me a post or pm so we can discuss doing this. I really appreciate any help.

All this stuff is easy man, its also the funnest part of modding the schassis. You should deff be able to knock this out in a couple hours, and you deff dont need a lift. You should deff try it first before gettin help on this stuff, and it'll save you more bucks for more mods.

It's not the fact that I can't do it, it's the fact that I have no time to do it. I'm working 12hr days and almost 6 days a week, so when I'm done for the day..... I'm done. I know what you mean by saying it will save me money in the long run to do it myself and I really want to.

I'm down to help. I could install it but you'd have to go somewhere else to get an alignment afterwards.

That's no problem, I have an account with Goodyear for alignments. Let me know when you want to do it.

what year car? and color?

i could knock this out in under 3 hours, and if it's a S14, i can use my lifetime alignment at firestone with my last custom alignment specs i worked at perfecting over 5 events.

lmk, get ya done cheap too, as this is the funnest part of working on a Nissan.

JDM seekrits... took me a while to get it right, with input from Sean Forrester, Jason Jiovanni, and a few good area drivers.

set up perfect, maximum grip/angle in the front, agressive rear camber and toe settings which wore the tires evenly, but had enough camber for max grip while squatting or rolling. granted also at the time, i had fully adjustable suspension, every arm was replaced, although yes, it was godspeed arms.

for the final alignment? i loved it, gonna run it on the R32 after i get the S13 sub frame in it.

No problem.. I do this all the time for the local Miata guys..

My shop is available for rent. it's only $20 an hour.. you get a lift, air tools, and everything you need.

I'm even available if you get stuck on something.

This works out well for me as I'm here doing office type stuff a lot and the lift sits vacant.
call the shop 813-333-1100 and I can get you in.
