HFP Suspension Install: Houston

bchinfoon · 04-17-2008, 10:24 AM

Anyone know where I can get an HFP suspension installed into my 4dr Si? The stealership quoted me $579 for labor and allignment. I can get the kit for $520ish off ebay so there's no way I'm paying that much for the install.

do it yourself its not that hard. If you were closer to DFW I would do it

You can check some of the sponsers on houston-imports.com...

I would install it myself, but I'm afraid I'll mess up. Never done anything like it before.

College Hills honda has a podcast on the install. Looks pretty informative.

i wouldnt advise tackling something like this if you havent done work like this before. and of coarse honda will charge an arm and leg. just ask around...

is that dealership quote for just the labor and alignment or the kit as well? I'd say thats not bad. If u were to get the kit online and then have a shop somewhere do it then it would come out pretty much the same..

bchinfoon · 04-17-2008, 03:51 PM

That $579 is just the labor man.

HTX · 04-17-2008, 03:54 PM

yeah screw that. Just get the hfp kit online and take to a strut and shock shop. All u have to do to put the hfp in is switch out the front shock and spring assembly and put the hfp in. I havent personaly dont it but it looks easy and straight forward. There a diy on it in the diy section i believe.

bchinfoon · 04-17-2008, 03:57 PM

Do you have any suggestions of where to take it? I'm definitely not confident enough to work on the car myself.

HTX · 04-17-2008, 03:59 PM

u could start out at maybe one of the chain shops like brake check, or midas and see what they give u for a quote and then find some custom/tuning shops and see what they will do it for. Any place that can do shocks and struts will be able to put that hfp kit in for u

I can do it at my high school shop for free.. i just did an alignment on my Si today with our new digital alignment machine.. ( i know it sounds unreal giving a "high schooler" your car to work on, but i've been doing it since my freshman year, name a job and ive done it.. not to mention my ASE master tech teacher is extremely knowledgable)

bchinfoon · 04-18-2008, 12:34 AM

Cool, I may have to hit you up once the kit comes in.

***mikes-si*** · 04-18-2008, 11:44 AM

alrighty.. have you ordered it yet? cause at the end of my our shop is getting torn down to have another one built along with our schools renovation
