Need to install headers and sways, need repair shop recommendations in the peninsula area.

Also, how long (and thus how much) should I expect for each install??

thanks

if you want to head over the san mateo bridge to hayward you can go to Motorsport Techniques. They have a lot of experience with aftermarket products. 510-783-8383 (cheap plug, they're my boys) =)

Hehe, just opened the phone book and saw a long ass list of performance places around the Bay Area. Don't know which one's good though cause I've gotten most of my stuff done in LA.

Really? I used to always be around when they first started in Dublin, then as they moved over to Hayward I went away for school. But I still occasionally go by to see whats new and borrow the owners suburban.
From what I hear one of the owners bought a MDX and put 18 in work wheels on it. Don't worry he was gonna put some big thick tires and he has no plans of lowering it. I can just imagine the look on peoples faces when I say he is putting 18's on his MDX.

hey, i forgot to mention I had an 89 integra. Bad a kit on it, shaved the doors and painted it bmw green. to be honest, the 89 integra was one of the worst cars. hated the torsion bar and i don't think i know of anyone who didn't have their front bumper sag down. hahahaa

AcuraTL

I agree, the torsion bars sucked and the ride was so rough. One thing good about it though is that you can raise or lower your car anytime, easier than coilovers

I wonder if they still make alot of stickers there. What happened to their Civic with a GSR engine turbocharged? Last time I saw it, it had cracked the cylinder wall, overboosting.

TLTypeS

the turbo got pulled out and they sold the car with a ls motor in it. he has a new project a custom blue 86 civic hatchback that will either sport a prelude or type r motor. i wonder have i seen you areound there before. i had a green civic hatch with a gsr motor, about the same time they had their black one, both cars were done by the same mechanic.

TLTypeS

sorry i mean 98 civic hatch ..hahaha

AcuraTL

I bet you we've seen each other at the shop before. I was there alot in 95-96. Now I noticed them moved to the other side from their old location.

TLTypeS

might have...another reason to finally meet up. i want to see both of your cars, i am waiting to see if i can pick up a MDX also. that car is so nice !!

Is $125 a good deal just for sway bar installation?

just called the above place and that's what they quoted me....

Anyone have any other recommendations?

AcuraTL

I wouldn't pay more than $60 to $90. The book says it is about an hour for both front and rear, so don't pay more than an hour of labor.

Dealer quoted me $215 for sway bar installation...

gosh.... just too expensive in the bay area

AcuraTL

Which dealer did you go to? Their book time is 1 to 1.5 hours for both front and rear. Try another dealership.
