What would you guys do?

My car is an 07 TL-S

I have had a set of H&R sports in my garage for 3 months. I have the ATLP catback on order( since June 10). I'm geting kind of tired of waiting on ATLP. I want to get the springs and exhaust installed at the same time, because I'd rather make only 1 trip to the shop. possibilities:

1.Rxperformance (new vendor here on Azine)= will do the install for both $215 plus tax. Only problem is that they are 1.5 hours away. I'm in Orlando they're in Tampa.

2. SpeedClinic= I saw a member post here about dyno results and I believe 2 installs. They are only 20 minutes away. They will install both parts for $225 plus tax.

3. Titan Motorsports= these guys are extremely reputable. They are also very well known in import drag racing circles. They mainly do supras, sylvias, celicas, pretty much toyota and nissan. thay are only about 30 minutes away. They wwill install both parts for $400 plus tax. I know this is a big difference in price, but I know they do high quality work.

what would you guys do?

1) 3 hours of driving (gas, time, hassle) vs. saving $10...duh.

2) Maybe...

3) $400?!!?!

Do you really have to ask?

$400 bucks are they providing lube also lol. I'd say go to Speed Clinic since its only 20 minutes away. The money you would be spending on gas to get to Rxmotors to save a few bucks isn't worthed imo. But also sometimes you get for what you pay.

Aaaahhhh er, I'd go with curtain number 2. But if your REALLY ANAL about qualify, maybe number 3. Number 1 is too far to be worth it.

For me personally, if number 2 is a good shop I'd go with them........

thanks for the input guys. I was already leaning towards SpeedClinic based on price alone. I'll go down and talk to them in the next few days.

You probably already have your mind made up, but look at it this way...


Why go with Titan when you fell you'll be happy with Speedclinic?

If you were getting your motor rebuilt or something, I'd say go with Titan Motorsports and pay the extra. Suspension install is fairly straight forward and the exhaust install is even easier. It's pretty hard to mess them up (but then again, some people/shops are just.... yeah) so I'd say SpeedClinic for sure!
