NYC... Recommended Reputable Install Shop
I did many searches... But no real results...
I'm searching for reputable and knowledgeable installation shop in New York City. Basically, I've been dealing with the same mechanic for like 7 years and lately he's been slacking off and not wanting to work... I think it's time to replace him...
So if you guys can recommend a location or person that installs high performance parts for our 3G TL please let me know... I have lot's of plans to upgrade my TL, however, my mechanic has been slowing me down... I want to install the usual (Suspension, Camber Kit, E-Shift Cats, Big Brake Kit... etc. plus future parts in development )... I can do the work myself, but, I don't have the space or location to do so... I like in the Bronx and in an apartment...
Thanks in advance...

They aligned the car and the problem was solved. Plus who the f@!? I'm I........ don't nobody have a Smif & Wesson to your head. You can get a wheel alignment or not, that's why this is called a forum.....to chat & get answers.

It's so funny... I started this thread and I have yet to comment...
Thanks guys for your feedback...
I ended up doing my suspension myself... w/o compressed air.... it took me about 5 hour with alot of breaks and beer runs... I wouldn't be doing that again anytime soon. I'm now running Koni (neuspeed) sport / Eibach Prokit, SPC front and rear camber kit and Comtech RSB w/greasable brackets.... My drop isn't aggressive at all, but, I felt since I was there already why not a camber kit.
CL Platano, I'll definitely contact you next time.... I realized why I stopped doing things myself.
K-Shawn, I feel you on the sensitivity of the alignment on the 3G. I barely dropped the car 1" and the alignment #'s where all over the place. Specially the toe... and I didn't even touch those adjustment points.
batm4n, I used to get alot of work done there (RPMNYC) when they first came into NYC... back in '94 and '95. They performed the first modifications to my old Integra (aka "the Money Pit"). Alot of import knowledge in that shop...
