So I need to redo all four wheels of my car. I'd like to put new shocks/struts/springs/bushings on my car, and as if that didn't cost enough, having a shop do it will double, maybe even triple the cost. My buddies and I did my old Galant suspension all in one night at 2am in the middle of the street. I'd like to do something similar with the BMW.
I'm looking for anyone in the Seattle area who has done this before, and can help me with mine. I will provide all parts and tools, and I will also help as best I can. I can't really afford to give you money for it, but I will buy your food for the day and also a night of drinks on me as well. I have a wide open private parking lot at my apartment where we can work, and plenty of light if it gets dark. I have a hydrolic jack and a basic wratchet set, and I will buy whatever other tools we need.
If I can get someone who will commit to helping me with this, I will then proceed to purchase the parts and we can arrange a date. Essentially, I need to get this all done in one day, or at most 2 days. Either way, at the end of the day, I need to be able to drive the car. So, we can do like, the front two wheels first, break for the day and then the next day we can complete to rear two wheels.
My reason for all of this is because for one, I would like to lower my front so I will be putting on lowering springs, new struts and bushings. For two, my rear suspension is sagging and I would like to again, replace the shocks and bushings but instead of lowering springs, just normal factory springs for the rear. I had this same kind of setup on the Galant and it gave me an awesome result.
Like I said, I can't afford to give you straight up money for the job, but I will do what I can for you and hey, at the very least, you have a friend to gain with a similar interest. :)
Thank you in advance!!
