Anyone know how much it would be to get a shop to install a cup kit? I don't really feel like doin' it myself...

Re: Cup Kit Install....
Do these two people generally have to know what they're doing, cause I really don't have a clue. Like is this something that anyone with half a brain and a wrench can figure out, or is it fairly complicated?'02 Jetta 1.8Tuuurbo

Re: Cup Kit Install....
Its very common sense. The front is the hardest, the rear just falls apart when you unbolt the shocks...You need a few "special" tools with the front, one is a spreader type tool for the pinch fit on the spindle, I just ground down a plain hex bit to be more flat, and then you can use that....Plus, you would be wise to have an impact wrench, either electric or air, doesn't matter, for the top strut bolts. Lastly, a spring compressor, which can be rented at any partsource, autovalue, canuck tire, etc....Thats it for odds and ends, everything else is pretty standard...2006 Colorado Xtreme | AEM CAI | Walker exhaust | smoked glass | -1" dropped rear | Avic D3 | 8000K HID's

YES! know what you're doing! BE SAFE!Originally posted by dubs_17
sorry guys but i cant believe you'd lend this guy these kinds of tools and info to do a job he has no idea about doing. that spring lets go and it'll take off your head! you still gotta know how to use the tools. I watched an experienced tech get picked up of the ground, knocked out, busted up face/concussion, after one let go. the tool broke in that case.
i think its cool that you guys take the initiative to try to do things yourselves but this is a big job for an inexperienced guy.
now i dont know the knowledge of those who posted here so i dont mean any disrespect. maybe you've already made plans with dubs_17, i dont know. i just dont like to hear about backyard jobs gone bad.Comment
