What's involved

What this repair actually is.

We remove the factory struts and springs at all four corners and install your coilover kit, then set the ride height and damper settings to your preference. A four-wheel alignment afterward is required because changing ride height changes the suspension geometry.

Symptoms

How you can tell.

  • You want adjustable ride height instead of a fixed drop
  • Car handles sloppy and you want real damping control
  • You bought a coilover kit and want it installed and set up right
  • Current coilovers clunk, leak, or were never adjusted properly
  • You track or autocross the car and need corner-to-corner adjustability
