old_man_silvia Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 (edited) Jamex also delivered the wrong shocks to me the same as SKYKC. As instructed I sent them back, but Jamex refused to accept them. I guess its buyer beware. Having paid my money over 2 months ago I am not impressed with this group buy. I dont know the name of the person I am dealing with - except its 'Gary'. I have been asked to send money to a company Jamex that does not want to identify itself. I cant really complain as dealing in this manner is asking for trouble and thats what I have. I urge others to be very careful when dealing in this manner. I accept that others have had great success and given great feedback.

Nate79 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I just got quoted $742 from my local Fulcrum store. I didnt think it'd be that much to install the whole kit with an alignment.

Eug Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 $700 is very very steep. myself and a mate did the springs + shocks along with the pineapples ourselves. it took us a lazy 3 hours. i'm sure most of the users on this forum would have the basic socket, spanner, trolley jack, shifting spanner, axle stands etc. definately something that you could save money on. most workshops want the car for at minimum the whole day so that they can work on the car between every little job. to me that's more hassle than its worth - since id rather do it myself than wait around for the entire day without a car. i am still waiting on my front camber bushes which wasnt included in my delivery from jamex and will need a press to get the rest of the babies in. *any idea where the wednesday/thursday delivery is happening gary?

SkyKC Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 ouch!! i take it that includes them assembling the shocks too? anyone else care to share how much they paid for installation?cheers. ##I got a quate from East Coast Suspensions as followes, is that the normal price for installation? *To fit your springs & shocks , plus front camber & caster kit would cost $450.00. *To fit the rear camber kit to the upper outer pivot points (ie. in the upright would cost an additional $135.00. *For Front & rear wheel alignment ( full adjust ) is $165.00. So All up to $750 ##St George quate for the above for $893 ##Nismo quate me $350 for shock installation $400 for caster and camber installation, and $88 for wheel alignment.so all up to $838 ##Pedders quate me $450 just to install the shocks,,,I didnt ask for the rest hehehe.

Eug Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 You are looking at around one full day to do everything, so around $400 should cover it. don't know if this still applies - but i guess it's a good figure to work around Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/85467-r33-gtst-whiteline-bilstein-suspension/page/25/#findComment-2912958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
