I'm looking for a performance shop in Orlando. I finally got my springs and I don't have the time,patience,knowledge to install them myself. Does anyone know of a good reputable place who'll install them at a reasonable price. Much thanks in advance. :D

for suspension work i go with either irish mike's on 50 or automotive one in longwood...irish mikes has a wrx racing team, so they know your stuff. automotive one is a real good place, and they do alot of work on high end cars. both the places though are a bit expensive...really for springs you can take it to any tire place that does shock/struts as well, since the process is pretty much the same as replacing OEM with OEM.

i'd get the alignment at irish mikes...they can give you pointers on the best settings based on your driving style.

DO NOT GO TO IRISH MIKES!! They did some work on my Brothers 3 series and I have never seen such bad work. Long story short they replaced the timing belt and did not tighten the bolts and left a couple of others out. Then the new timing belt broke and bent the valves.

Go to Titan Motorsports! They are a very highly sought after tuner shop, they have an unbelieveably fast Supra and Civic and are very nice and honest.

good luck getting your car into titan or cft...they're backed up for months

seriously, springs are no big deal to anyone who knows the end of a wrench. it's really hard to screw it up. i had all my suspension work on my old civic (and there was alot of it..) done by a friend who worked at a goodyear...no complaints at all.

There used to be a pretty good perf shop on 436 out near Casselberry. Can't remember the name but is started with a "Z". Club I used to belong to would meet there.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.I got referred to a place called Velocity Resources. Anyone heard of them? Good or bad?

beachdog

Never heard of them. Sorry.

Just remembered the name of the shop. It's Zembower's.

tiggerlee

thanks dog! :D

tiggerlee

Yeah thought of that but I'd like to find a good performance shop and build a relationship. That way in the future if I need any other mods done I've at least got my foot in the door. I'll probably just call around some of the places you guys suggested and see if I can't get a couple estimates.

Hey, tigger, I never had any work done here, but, I know that they are real honest and have the top of the line coats equipment. I thought that I needed to get my tire repaired and they pulled it off the wheel, put it back on without a scratch and without damaging the tps. As big a pia as that was, they charged me nothing even though they spent at least 40 minutes breaking down the tire, inspecting it putting it back on and balancing. It's a little tiny shop but the pimpmobiles and ricers come from all over.

I found the original info on them on tirerack. They do suspension work.

Is the Velocity Resources the one in Apopka? If so my roomate had some work done there and he was happy.

tiggerlee

I believe so. Address is north OBT. But when I called the number yesterday is was disconnected.

I've heard some good things about Nix and Black. I'm considering getting my car aligned there this week after I get some new tires. Most chain places I've talked to won't work on my car because its lowered and has the side skirts.

Has anyone else had an alignment there? Anyone know what they charge?

tiggerlee

Cool! Got a appointment next Wed. to get my springs installed. Quoted me $150 to install. Sounds kinda cheap but as long as they do a good job that's all I'm concerned with. I'm getting my rotors painted also. Thanks again beachdog!
