Suspension Work in Norfolk / VB

335iVA · 02-03-2012, 10:23 PM

Does anyone know of anyone or a shop that does reputable suspension work? Or does anyone have a garage and want to help me put mine on? I'll pay w/in reason, just tell me how much.

I have the H&R Touring Cup Kit (springs & shocks).

I tried to do it w/ a friend in PA last month, but got stuck nearly stripping the torques screw under the driver's side front control arm. Has anyone else experienced problems w/ this? I didn't want to keep going b/c I had to drive back to VA the same day, so it never got done. We ended up breaking three torque bits...Yes, 3. You would think we were doing something wrong, but the nut came about 75% of the way off...looked like it had sealant on it. Then I just finally called it quits and screwed it back on. Sucks. I'm moving to Cali in April, and want to get my suspension on before then.

If anyone is interested in helping a brotha out, or knows of the best shop around to do it, please let me know.

Thanks.

I had springs installed and alignment done by a shop in Virginia beach that works mainly on Porsches called Eurosport (I think). It was a long time ago (~10years) but they were awesome.

How was the pricing @ Eurosport?

It was ~$300 including alignment, so pretty cheap.

Calculating 10 years ago + inflation, I guess that $300 would round out to about $800 today

I'll definitely check them out though. I don't want to pay too much for a job I know I can do myself. But that price is very attractive. It's also nice to know that any problems that they run into, they will have to deal with, not me. For some reason, Murphy's Law loves me.

I will check it out and let you all know what happens from there.

Thanks again.
