Where to get brakes installed in SoCal?

Does anyone around LA know a good place to get my Big brake kit installed?

I came down from washington on business about 3 weeks ago so i'm not familiar with good shops around here. I'm in the Woodland Hills/Calabasas area. Can anyone direct me to a competent and not too expensive shop that can install my brake kit?

THANKS!

-Andrew

haha.. yea.. I was so damn busy with my business.

They sent the brakes out yesterday.. should get them next week. Took them so damn long...

1st they told me it was done 3 weeks ago. so while driving down to cali i stopped by in oregon, but they told me that the rotors weren't coated yet. so they had to send it out. and it would take another week.. Also i take a look at the calipers that i ordered in a custom Satin-Silver-Metallic. Even sent them fedex 2day the paint sample. anyway, so i see the calipers and they paint it this awful flat grey. told them to redo it.

so i drive down to cali.. couple days later, get a call back... they can't do it the silver i wanted 8 months ago! so i said.. fine, i'm tired of waiting. So I told them to paint it red and reminded them to take off the "wilwood" emblem from the calipers.

i called back a week later cause they didn't call and they tell me know that they can't remove the wilwood name.. against company policy, whatever... i know.. lies!

anyway... so it goes on.. i call them another week later and they say they finished it. Told me they'd ship it out the next day. Then i saw a charge on my card.

So here i am, waiting for the brakes and wondering where i'm gonna get them installed.



sorry for the long post!

If u want to drive down in LA area there is a place call Impex Motorsports in San Gabriel. They do excellent job there. I've taken 2 other previous car for modifications. They work on BBK like Rotora.. Brembo..Project MU and so forth.
