I am planning on having some Toytec coilovers installed on my new FJ and wondering if anyone can recommend a good FJ friendly shop in Houston. I would do it myself but I don't have a spring compressor.
Shouldn't need a spring compressore if you are installing coilovers. Basically just drop the existing shock and spring and stuff the coilover package in there.
I'm sure a few members here in Houston, including myself, would be happy to lend a hand with the install.
If not try Javier's Auto Unlimited. Deals quite a bit with toyota's and landcruisers.
05/06 built '07 6MT accessorized with the following:
LT285/70/r17 Nitto Terra Grapplers on stock rims, Extreme Truck Toys 3" spacer lift, Demello front single hoop bumper + skid plate, K&N CAI Intake as reviewed by me here on FJFCs, Trail Gear sliders, Cobra 76 XTR CB + 3' Wilson Silver Load antenna mounted up front, A-TRAC hack and custom trail rash from all over Texas.
I'm trying to save a little cash by not going for the complete replacement setup. So I am replacing the stock front springs with the adjustable ones while keeping the stock TT bilsteins.
No problem. Just another fyi. Spring compressors can usually be rented fairly cheaply ~ $30 when I rented one several years ago. Believe you can purchase them for under $100. Purchasing/renting one and doing it yourself would still come out much cheaper. Just a thought.
