Suspension install in So. Cal....

Any good places to install springs/shocks? I would do it myself, but the next few weeks are insane.

I prefer the O.C. area, but wouldn't mine drivin'.

I called Dynamic Autosports in Lake Forest and they're busy.

Does anyone else suggest another place?

Thanks!

I really don't want to talk shit about them, but they have been known to be

1) laggers
2) scammers
3) they rip you off
4) do bad jobs

All the damn high school kids sport their fuckin OHC stickers on their cars like they're cool...its ridiculous. One time I took a grille there to get painted. They said it would be done in 2-3 days...

2.5 weeks later, I get my grill, the paint is uneven, it has drip spots in the corners, and there were chips in it. But hey, alot of people swear by them. That's just my opinion. They did a terrible job for me and a few of my friends, however a few of my other friends love em.

Since your in lake forest, keep going down lake forest to vista terrace, make a right, then left at quigleys autobody. Clarks house of suspension is in the same parking lot. They do alot of suspension work, from lifts on trucks to lowering on imports.

I havent been there in a while, but when i put my new shocks and springs on i'm definetely going there for my alignment. They are old school, everything by hand.

Dont be afraid of the lifted trucks, they can work on imorts too LOL

Check em out. (949) 768-6261
