Hello all..ordered my coilovers from Vivid...first, Dan is the man...great people over there....I missed the shipment today...That's NEXT day from vivid ..holy @#% that's the fastest service I've ever experienced...great job VR!
Anyways, I'm looking for someone to install the coilovers and rear sway here in San Diego that is reputable but isn't going to break me...I had planned to only get the H&R's, but after talking with Dan and others, I decided to go with the PSS10's....well, that $800+ difference was my going to be my install buffer...eitherway..I've spoken to one place here in town and got quoted $95/hr and would be from $600 -800 total without alignment..is that about right?....I'm not corner balancing or setting up aggressive....I'm going to be using a very mild, Daily driver setup. Any information is greatly appreciated...if you guys recommend them, then I trust your experience as I am newb in the TT world.(stuff is much more expensive in this world than was in the Bimmer world.)
thanks again,

 

i paid $600 for install of pss9, no sway bars as of yet... wondering if they really make a difference for street driving..

 

yea..I may wait on the sway bar install until I can get the front to match...sways are pretty easy to install myself, I'm just not prepared to tackle the coilovers. I'm not sure how much difference they'll make for daily driving....everyone I talked to said to get them tho...they seem to like that starting setup...we'll see. I'm upgrading because the shocks are a little squishy now and I don't like the way the car sits or drives....so hopefully this will accomplish both....better stance, looks, and overall handling.....no racing for me yet...maybe a DE event later this year, but nothing fancy. thanks for response

 

If you want to drive up to OC we will gladly help out and do the install.


Additionally we have the Porsche Beisbarth aligner which is a factory aligner and compensates for lowered ride heights.

+1 on the Beisbarth alignment machine (that's the machine my shop uses). Scott.

 

All I can say is Fabryce and GMG guys are stand up people. I would not trust anyone in San Diego Area to touch my car.

I had alignment and corner balancing done at GMG and they were professional and stood behind their work. I am very happy with the end result.

 

thanks for the response...I only had one good reference for someone here in SD...VR gave me that reference but they seemed a little high in price. I definitely agree with you about the tracking issue..had the same issue with my EVO...I definitely want to get this right...it's my daily driver so I don't want to fight it everyday. I'll most likely be looking toward GMG...it's a drive for me and I'd prolly have to spend the night up there...gotta talk with my better half about some fundage...if you know what I mean...thanks again,

 

I know it's not a TT but Blackforrest in SD has taken care of both my p-cars for the past 10 yrs had have always done right my me. Good people. Ask for Jeff.
