Default Velocity Springs Install $$

Looking for a shop in SWFlorida/Naples area to install Velocity springs anybody know of a good shop they would recommend? Any ideas what to expect for installation costs? Is an alignment needed after install since the drop is so mild?

Thank you

I dont know the area so I cant help but Florida is loaded with tuner shops. As for the pricing; a properly educated shop can do the job in 2-3 hours and then its up to them to discuss rate per hour or flat fee etc... Anytime you change the geometry of the suspension I recommend an alignment. I drove my car for about 300 miles after the drop and felt/saw no ill effects at all speeds but when I took the car to Jag - clearly my alignment was off. It was not off in camber so much but moreso in caster and toe which is actually worse for tire wear (Toe). I had it fixed and the car should be fine for full life tire wear.

always recommended to get alignment after any suspension work. manufacturers have their tolerances and these tolerances will change things, even if the specs says they are exact replacement for existing suspension.

Default Alignment specs

Does anyone have any performance street alignment specs? I don't have a Jag dealer nearby for the alignment.

Definitely recommended to get an alignment, although you should put at least 100 miles on the clock I would say, just to make sure everything is properly settled first.

Wheels boutique for installation; Miami Chassis for alignment -- that is my plan for spacer / spring / alignment project.
