San Diego/OC Suspension Install

GreyMatter · Mon, Apr-05-2010, 05:10:19 PM

I'm looking to get some new shocks, RTAB, FCAB and RSMs installed. Anyone have a recommendation for a shop to do the work? One indy shop quoted me close to $1500 for parts + labor and I have to supply the shocks. Is that a good price or should I shop around some more?

Would be best if I could find a shop in SD to do the work but if the price is right and the shop is reputable I may be willing to drive up to Orange County/South LA.

Thanks.

Buy the parts online and have me install them for you for MUCH less than what a shop would charge

I have worked on a lot of San Diegan's cars. Most of my feedback is on bf.c though. http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1124956

Just wanted to say thanks to Kevin for helping me out with the FCAB/RTAB install. He does great work and pays attention to details to make sure the job is done properly. Would definitely vouch for him if you need any work done!
