Default Coilover install

anyone have a recommendation for a shop to do a fox 2.0 coilover install in San Diego? ORW wants $600 for the install. I'll do it myself if I have to but would rather have a qualified person install to spec. . Thanks in advance!

It's a straight forward install that any automotive shop can do.

If you are looking for a suspension shop, maybe call up Downsouth Motorsports or a 4 wheel parts

.................or a 4 wheel parts
4 Wheel Parts in Dallas wants $500 labor to do the front. Throw in a California location and they are probably $600 too. But, it's certainly worth a phone call for the OP.

Wow, for $600, *I'LL* do it for you! And I'll buy your gas to come to the SF Bay Area! (I'd be making about $200-$250 per hour ).

***But beware! Most, and I mean MOST shops will not complete an '09-'13 ('14 too?) properly! The lower strut bolt's factory spec torque is 406 ft lbs. You/they must have a torque multiplier or torque adapter to achieve this spec. Even my dealer didn't do it correctly when they replaced my CV axle back in May. (boy did they get a scolding! I video'd *my* doing it to spec - WC Ford now has a new training video for their techs), and I have some freebies coming my way.

But seriously, if you have the right tools, it's a pretty straight forward job. 3 hours tops for both sides. If it's a '15 or newer, it's even easier (and no monster torque requirements.

Give SoCal suspension in El Cajon a call. They installed my F150/Halo lifts coilovers last year for $320. The price also included an alignment and they did an excellent job. Took the truck in right when they opened one Saturday morning and it was done by noon.
