What suspension did you go with?
I ordered some Strano Spring/Swaybars, Koni shocks, UMI lca's phb & relocation brackets. Cost me an arm and a leg but it'll be worth it if it improves the handling of the car the way everyone's been telling me.

It makes a huge difference, you will really enjoy how the car feels after. I installed the suspension, frame connectors and strut tower brace all in the same day and I couldn't get over how solid the car became.

AHHHH I will eat my words. I was under the impression it was the other location. It makes it hard when everyone calls their companies vitually the same. In that case I appologize. If you didnt ask which one I would have never checked to see if another actually existed.

Absolutely. Barry, the owner/operator, does great work and is very reasonable to deal with.

Some of the shops I've checked out haven't really worked on these cars. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for taking the time to come in this morning to check us out, I hope you like what you saw. Looking forward to working on your car!
