Thumbs up Coilover Installation in East End GTA

Hi,
Does anyone have or know of a shop that does pretty good work for a KW V1 coilover install in east end of GTA?
Scarborough, Markham, East North York....

Preferably at a good rate, however I do not want to sacrifice cutting of corners to save a buck

Pls let me know who you deal with and feedback of their shop/owner

Thanks

Go to Speedstar. They're out in Markham. I've had lots of stuff done by them on my cars over the years. Albert and Frank are great to deal with.

Ron, quoted me $400 installed and aligned and then said he can do $350 all in.

I guess these seems to be the going rate for install and alignment

+1, my friend got his e92 lowered by leslie at an amazing price which i will not disclose and he even has a shop to send your car to for alignment and can have everything complete for cheaper and he does quality work and will explain everything to you.

He even does intake blasting at the best pricing around and responds to txt msgs quickly.

RMP quoted me $260 for a coilover install.

For alignment go to Altech Automotive. Cost $60.

alteach is a hit and miss though . I ve done several alignment there because of their unbeatable price . I would say 3 out of 5 were good.

Took them about 4 hours give or take
The KW V1 road amazing with the exception of the issue in the rear.

But they were used.... Learnt my lesson. Will only buy new next time.
Fortunately the seller gave my money back in exchange for the coilovers back. But I lost on the re-re
