Default Help with some technical work.....

I am looking into getting new wheels for my car (finally......) and I have been thinking of upgrading my rotors at the same time. From what I understand, it should not be a difficult undertaking to have the rotors switched out........ I have also considered having aset of lowering springs added to help offset the wheelgap, especially in the rear of the car. I cannot nor am I able to do this work myself, so I am considering having someone to do it for me....

What would be a fair price to pay for the installation of new rotors and lowering springs?

Just trying to do the right thing when it comes time to "pay up"...............

I'd like a new midpipe too! (but I have some pretty good contacts here at a local muffler shop that have treated me very fairly in the past......)

i have done all you have asked...actual time doing it as long as you have a spring compression tool(free from autozone from thier loan a tool program) would take 2 hours. All that is needed is a floor jack, metric socket set , compression tool, and some time. This "SOMEONE" is from a shop or a buddy helping ya out....if a buddy i know myself $100 would be fair...someone at a shop would look at you wierd since shops would flat rate the job and would guess the bill would be $250ish....keep in mind that is a guess...i know Texas hotrod wanted to charge me $75 too install the UCA since I was being lazy.

why do you want to change out your rotors??

and if you are...your going to use the stock size??

the springs are not that tough of a job, just need the right tools...but if your not comfortable, then the flat rate will be atleast 2 hours...so depends on what shop you use and what their rates are.
