Lowering Perch Install

ACFoulstone · 05-17-2011, 12:28 PM

I'm looking into buying some front lowering perches from Supreme Power and I was looking for your opinions on the mod itself and a good place to have them installed if I end up getting them. Thanks in advance!

It's easy to install yourself if you have the proper tools.

Unfortunately, I don't have the tools needed to do it myself. That would have been ideal. Anyone have a recommendation for a good shop around Seattle (or Bellevue) that could install these for me?

im new to what lowering perches are. i feel like the bmw sport drop is enough for me in the rear, but the front seems a little high. if i'm correct, the perch drop does that adjust to the front only correct?

how much do these perch drops run for? any good recommedations on brands? and i'd like to know anyone that can install these for me for a good price

Yeah, lowering perches only drop the front, and it's around a 0.5" drop. SupremePower sells the parts for $70, but I've been quoted +$300 for the install. Guys from different areas (SoCal) got theirs installed for under $150. I want to see if I can it done for closer to that price.

dang. that sounds like the perfect conservative front drop i was looking for. but DAMN. labor. anyone on the forums know how to install these locally for way cheaper than $300? lmk!

Yeah, thats why I was drawn to them as well. I'm pretty sure there are some people that have the necessary tools (spring compressor) in the area. Group install?
