Good Dallas Shop for C5 work? I have a 1999 Corvette that is doing all kinds of crazy stuff and I want to take it to someone who knows this car. I live real close to the Chuck Fairbanks chevy dealership (which happens to have a pretty lousy set of vette mechanics from my experience) but the car does still run so I can travel a little ways if I know it's worth it. Any recomendations??

LG Motorsports is by far the most reputable shop in the DFW metroplex. RPM wanted to charge me $75 to lower my vette on stock bolts (put it on a lift, turn a few bolts, less than 10 minutes worth of work). I took it to another shop and they did it for free (wouldn't even accept the money that I offered them). If RPM is that overpriced on such a minor job, I'd hate to take my car there for something major.

You would think you'd know their location if you say they are a great bunch of guys.

I told them lowered on stock bolts, but maybe they assumed that I wanted the bushings cut.

Would be fun to see what real cars run instead of the 9.4 1/8th c5's and 8.4 1/8th 03 cobras i saw at k-dale.

I'd also feel comfortable with LG or SQR.
