i take it hayward is pretty far from pasadena but no ive never heard of em. I'm sure they'll do a good job judging by the name, they've probably done installations like coilovers before. Jus be sure there not overcharging u. I have springs which cost 80 to get em on but im not sure how much harder it is to put on coilovers.

no sense cryin' over spilled milk... Should've asked before you submit.... Think of it this way: having unprotected sex and then asking someone if the lay was the right thing to do and that person says, well, I got an STD from it.... a bit late to ask, catch my drift? I do hope for the best for you, but for future reference, ask before you buy. Peace.

We're building a system in one of the owner's Lancer Evo as we speak. I've never actually been to their shop but judging from how tight his car was, they do good work and they carry some very nice product. He stopped by to check on his car yesterday with one of the other Gruppe-S owners. He too had a nice EVO customized by his Co. So if two of the Gruppe-S owner's rides are at least a bit of a testimonial to the work they do on customer’s cars than i think u can trust em.

While Jerry (one of the Gruppe S partners)was at the shop on Tuesday plotting out what we were going to do and how much we were going to charge him; we started talking a little about my car and about what I’ve done to it and what’s left to do. I was talking to him about how I thought it needed a little more bracing, and he suggested Cusco (which currently are posted in the group buy section) but had no idea about if it was going to fit my car in fact he really didn't know anything about the TL, but that's to be expected. Just look at the cars his shop works on (Evo, STI, S2k etc.) My point being that although I wouldn't bring my car there for anything major I’d be confident that they would do a nice enough job on my coilovers.

It's like going to the worlds best shoe maker, he'd probably whip u up a bomb ass pair of shoes but I wouldn't let him touch my suit.

how long after you get your coilovers get installed do you guys go in for alignment?

also can you reccomened a place to get a alignment? the only place i can think of as of now is the dealer that wants 90 bucks with a coupon.

I believe the place was called J&J auto. It's between Fifth and Sixth and Folsom St. It's across the street from Golden City Autobody.
