Default Performance/Install Shop

Hey guys,

I've got a bunch of suspension parts and a flywheel i'm trying to get installed at the beginning of next week. I called Speed Inc. and they are booked solid 3-4 weeks. What other shops are in the Northwest Suburbs that do great work? Or if anyone who's great with tools and wouldn't mind making some $ and beer. If I had a lift and some tools I'd do most of it myself, but as far as installing the flywheel i have no clue on how to do that. The following is what I want to have done:

Upgrade to Hotchkis Sway Bars w/ Zo6 endlinks (front/rear)

Upgrade to FG2 Shocks (front/rear)

Ground Control Coilover Springs (front/rear)

(Alignment if the shop can do that, if not I’ll take it to the dealer)

Upgrade to UUC Flywheel

Stainless Steel Brake Lines / Brake Fluid Flush


Any help is truly appreciated. thanks!
