To change springs? Dude seriously, you dont need a specialized shop to change springs. Proceed to punch your friends in the face, and then redo your spring job.

Re: suspension shops????
i kno...me and 2 friends put my lowering springs on a year ago. my friend's girlfriend wanted lowering springs and i was tired of mine. i have a 99 trans am and she has an 02 z28(same suspension). when my springs were first put on we did a great job, they were perfect. this is a differant group of friends. they swapped our two springs but messed something up. i dont kno what. me and another friend are gonna take them apart again tomorrow probably. i have the stock springs in mine now.

Try a caster camber kit or something if you can. I know shit about F-Buddies.

Re: suspension shops????
i might have an answer...just need to fix it now...the wheel studs on my front tires are somewhat stripped and two of them right next to each other are broke off. soo im guessin i need to replace the 10 front studs. i can shake the wheel while it is on my car. i tightened them and drove 2 blocks. stopped and was loose again
