Question: Bay Area mods?

I've tried to ask this question several times, but it's always buried in another thread, and I don't think I've ever gotten an answer... if you did answer in one of those other threads and I missed it, my apologies.

To those of you Bay Area owners with mods... specifically, Sways, Springs, and/or CAI, where did you get your work done and how much did you pay for parts and labor?

Thanks

For Tires, wheels and suspension, and other mods, try Auto Innovations in Milpitas. Great people and good prices too. Ask for Orlando or Steve.

For stereo, the place to go is Sound Innovation in Hayward.

You can also go to Roger Kraus Racing in Castro Valley.. They did all my Suspension for my car, and they also did my dad's GS400 Suspension work as well. They also do an excellent job of wheel allignment too. As far as my CAI i got it done at MotorSport Techniques in Hayward.. I have known them for a very long time.

I went to Auto Innovations to have my springs installed. $150.00 sweet job. I called this weekend about sways and they quoted $200.00. Same as the dealer. WTF????

yeah...i waited about a month or so and then got an alignment...i dont car what anyone says about the springs already being settled...this is the 2nd car i've lowered, and it still seems like the car settles a bit more after the initial install. i figured it would be useless to get an alignment the same day i lowered it, so i waited...
