Attn: So Cal owners

I'm looking for a good place to buy and install coilovers. Any recommendations? Preferably a shop that knows their stuff when it comes to tuning suspension and worked on a TSX before. Thanks.

If you are willing to drive down to San Diego, there is this place in on National City Blvd called Enginuity, they installed my Tien's for me. I would Call them up first to schedule an appt and to get the coilovers on special order.The shop owner's name is Ha Nguyen and you can call him at 619 917-1666

I think Cobalt_Forge knows of a good place. He posted it a while back. I can't remember the name though.

Actually, yes I know of 2 places:

www.streetimage.com (They're in Covina/Baldwin Park off the 10)

OR

www.heeltoeauto.com (He's in Lake Forest off the 405 & 5)

Either place is great for installs and they offer very competitive prices.

As for places to get your coilovers, you can't beat the service of our Board Vendors (Excelerate and MrHeelToe). Try these links:

There was this hilarious post about how to hide mods from your spouse that I read a long time ago on a mailing list. It was written in the style of a covert military operation. If anyone has this, I would appreciate if you could post it as I've been looking and can't seem to find it anymore.
