SF Bay area, I'm looking for a suspension install shop

Hey guys,
Can anyone recommend a very good suspension shop who can install shocks (all around), front and rear sway bars for a fair price?

thanks

Yes, they installed every part on my 135 and every part on Jon's 335. I would not take my car anywhere else, ask for Darwin or Justin and use us as a reference.

Sure...

For both the 335 and the 135:
-Downpipes, exhaust, software, intake, scoops, KW coilovers, alignment, wheel mounting/balancing/install

Cost depends on what you are getting installed but give them a call to get a quote.

+1 if you're near SF. Ray and Wally (?), the shop manager, are great guys. BTW, had M3 suspension components (including rear subframe bushings), Koni yellows, H&R sports, and M3 sways installed with zero problems.

Is Edge Motorworks still around in Dublin? A few years back when i was still really into e36s, they were really popular, and i went there for some work, and they did great work. I haven't heard about them in a while. Are they still around? Do people still go there?

They're still around and doing work. They have a 135i shop car too that Gordon autoXs all the time so they are familiar with the e9x and e8x chassis.
