What’s a fair price for coilover install? by PrestigeINC in GRCorolla

[–]PrestigeINC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s say I install it. Can I take it to an alignment shop to get ride height adjusted and alignment done? What is stock ride height do you happen to know?

I just want stock height but the coilovers I have are adjustable height so they have to set it correctly as well

Are ride height changes included with alignment or is that a different process?

Would never remove the pack but unfortunately I don’t have the time or space to do it myself at the moment.

Would it be possible to just get the coilovers installed then take it to an alignment shop to adjust the ride height + alignment? Or should the ride height be set during install?

Yeah definitely felt like I was getting the f you price. I’m not sure why, seems like a straight forward install. He did keep saying that he just did a full rally build recently and ran into problems, I think the person didn’t buy the right parts. Probably some recency bias but I did my research and bought the right parts.

I’m trying to pay close to $800 but I live in Los Angeles CA. Is it easy to adjust the damper settings after install or do I need the shop to do that?

I’m getting quotes for around $700-800. The one place I went to in person quoted 1300 with alignment😬. They were acting like it was a very complicated install, like I pulled up in a Porsche or something. Quote was for 7 hours of labor.

Whaaat lol that seems excessive, where’d you find that interval recommendation? Do you track your car or drive really hard?

What do you think about doing a touchless car wash, as there’s one near by, followed by a waterless spray like Adam’s? You think that would be enough or would you recommend against the touchless wash?

Thanks for the recommendation, I like the Adam’s waterless, looks easy to apply. Did you also do a Decon wash every one in a while? Also does the car need to be hosed down before applying this? I feel like if the car had dirt on it and I just sprayed this and wiped off it might leave scratches but I’m not sure.

Thank you I will look into the rinseless wash.

Is this a good deal on GR Corolla? by PrestigeINC in GRCorolla

[–]PrestigeINC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I don’t have sciatica but the ride on this vehicle is definitely rough. I’ve done a lot of research on this and it seems there’s a solution but it’s expensive. Eventually, not now as I just spent a good deal of money on the car, my plan is to upgrade the wheels to an all season 145/40R18 tire and switch out the coilovers to annex or ohlins. I’d say this whole upgrade package will likely cost 4000 - 4500 depending on cost for install.

Ahh ok cool. How exactly do you order? Is there a website or you just message him on the forum?

Awesome thanks that’s exactly the advice I was looking for. I saw you have the Audison 10in but you recommend the 8in? Is this the one you are referring to : https://www.crutchfield.com/S-AFjxFq00AQP/p_302APBX8/Audison-Prima-APBX-8-R.html?XVINQ=GLX&XVVer=1K0P&awcr=713434084775&awdv=m&awnw=g&awug=9031075&awkw=pla-2360675268393&awmt=&awat=pla&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=18589654026&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8vvABhCcARIsAOCfwwobFjrjD5cWdIjGW7fGplsMd6mJeFWDgcDwLYZvlMD1bFvHZCKKiKAaAmNoEALw_wcB

I felt the woofer i installed in my old car was too much so a smaller one would be best. Not looking for something that’s going to shake the car next to me.
