ditto. It all depends on how far you are willing to go too. Most places will be able to do such a simple install.

Where are you exactly in the Bay? I know several shops that can do this for you, or heck the HellaFit club has done like 2 cars in a weekend in my back yard minus alignments

*Sounds of impact gun*

Auto Innovations is a good place, usually really busy so set an appointment with them if that's where you wanna go.

Or...what Tyler said We can install them for you in a jiffy and you can find your own place to align, saving you the install cost.

Swift Springs is an excellent spring; I started out with them. Cheers!

Thanks guys..

I ended up calling Auto Innovations that same day and got a same day appointment. Orlando squeezed me in and got the work done with an alignment and camber bolts (cuz i want even tire wear).

Now waiting for the rain to end to wash the car.. :P

How do you like the ride? I understand you used to have a GD, but is this the first time you're on Swift? Looking forward to meeting you.

So far the ride is great. I wasn't expecting stock ride, but it is stock like for sure. It reminds me the miata that i had, not too stiff, but not to soft. I had a GD fit and it was a manual. Wife couldn't drive it so i had to sell it. Im getting a little bit better millage on the GE, even though it's auto so it's a welcome change.

of course coming from a 2000 insight (first gen) nothing else on the market compares to the gas millage, but there are more pluses than minuses between the Fit. Heck the ride now reminds me of the Insight.

Would you mind telling me how much installation and alignment cost you over at auto innovations? I just got swift springs as well and am considering just letting professionals install it for me.
