Northern Virginia shop for parts installs, etc

Can anyone in NOVA reccomend a good shop for springs, shocks, etc installs. I had a good place in MD called CIC performance that did a good job on my springs for around $200. Hoping I can find a place like that here in Northern Virginia.

Quality Tire in Woodbridge. Kevin the installer has done a few TL's already. He just did some springs on a friends TL. Not to mention I highly recommend him and Quality Tire.

Or we could throw an install day and help everyone out. Suspension for the most part is easy. As well as everything else on this car.

Hell yes.... I would be all over this....

I have done all of my own work so I could contribute with install stuff but I do not know if I want to tackle the suspension install..... I know xtin and I have both been shopping and looking for some Teins and install.....

I work at Quantico so I will look for this place in Wodbridge but I think an install day would be a great idea!

The place is off of Telegraph Rd. in Woodbridge next to IKEA.

I might even be willing enough to host the install day. Suspension is really easy. We could probably lower 3-4 cars in a day if they have full coilovers going in. Full swap of springs may be a little longer. However, I've done it all plus I'm sure my friend wouldn't mind loaning me his air compressor again. Hell I might even be able to persuade him to help some. Then we could probably have a small BBQ. Just a thought anyways.

Several members from AZ have used Dennis and have been quite happy with him. I personally have not had work done by him but I've heard nothing but good things. Just thought I's pass on the info.

I can do Teins... I can do anything . I missed the last GTG, so I need to give back a bit.

I've done HID fogs, interior gutting for AV install, suspension, RSB, CAI, Thermoblocks, about to do procats. Bout the only thing I won't do is clear headlights... too much liability.

Got lots of tools too. We'd need a spring compressor for spring replacement though.

jmb, set it up, and I'll spend a Saturday helping/coaching thought whatever our NoVA bretheren. Mid September?

A-Spec struts with comptech springs? or are you doing Konis? You'd be too low for your commute. I'd stick with straight A-Spec.

You should just come over some Friday after work (I'm in Stafford). You buy the beer.

Yep.. A-SPec struts/Comptech springs... But I have the A-Spec springs too... not sure what type of setup I should go with....

Can you swap the springs??

We'd need to borrow a spring compressor from ustozone, but yeah... no big deal.

Wow, this sounds cool. I'd definitely be interested and can provide beer/food to compensate for my mechanical inabilitys...lol

Unfortunately, I'd probably only be able to get a RSB by mid-next month or so. Possibily a CAI... Eventually I'd want to also do the suspension, but will need to wait till next year

Please let me know if this does happen though. Thanks!

I wish I could come out... but I'm finishing up classes until the end of this month. Afterwards though, i'll make it out. Thanks for the heads up.
