Good suspension work in Norcal????

Anyone can suggest a good place to install suspensions in bay area or norcal? I brought a set of coilover 7 months ago and never had the chance to put it on, my plan was to get new brake, and new tire before I drop it because the set I'm running now is almost gone. But changed my mind now, wanna put it on to see if I like it or not before I get new tire. I want to install it, but don't know where to go. If you know a good shop, please let me know. Other wise I might just sell it and forget it. Thanks!!!!!!!

oh, alignment included please!!!!!

Hehe, I changed out my springs in like 6 hours, if you have coil overs with the caps, it's easy. Do you ever park on Geary in the avenues? I think I have seen your car.

how much do they charge? Santa Clara is far............how long you think it's gonna take for the job?
i saw some write up on the DIY section and I know it can be done myself but I have no idea how to adjust the heigh equally, I wanna do a half inch drop. And yea I live in the Richmond.

Here are some picture of the car now, do you think I can get in my garage after the half inch drop?????? I have no problem getting in now. But as you can see my drive way is kinda narrow.....

Call him up, his number is on the website.

He's a really solid guy who knows rotaries inside and out. On top of that he's a nice dude too. A lot of us Bay Area dudes owe something or another to Paul due to random favors over the years.

That doesn't look like much clearance at all. Be careful with that stuff. I dropped mine really low and no longer have my plastic undertray, or anything else around the front of my car lol. Small price to pay in my opinion though.

Roger Krauss Racing in Castro Valley. not the cheapest hacks around, but guys with much more valuable sleds than ours trust them for setup/install work.
As for alignments, last time i had one done at RKR it was about $120.
Good luck.
