Looking for a Houston area shop for my 997TT

Ive been around on the forums for some time now, and ive finally decided to go ahead and start modding now that my warranty is up.

Im looking for some shops that can lower my car and install some new wheels.

Steve Ott at Driver's Source is a great guy to go to. He specializes in aftermarket work on Porsches. Also on the west side of town is Don Irby at the West Houston Porsche dealership. He is probably the best Porsche mechanic in Texas. Porsche sends the trouble cars in the region to Don. Up north in the Woodlands there is Luis at Autodynamica. They are an AWE and EVOMS dealer and also distribute HRE and Champion wheels

Thanks, I actually saw your DIY and was going to tackle the spring install job on my own, I later decided that its too time consuming. ive lowered my Infiniti, BMW, and lifted a truck but the turbo suspension seems a little more complex

Bumping an old thread but who did you end up going to for the spring install? I'm looking to do mine this week.

Sorry about the late response. I chose EVS because they were a bit closer to me, and they were able to take me in that same weekend with needing me to make an appointment.
