Boston Area auto shops for installs

Looking for a place to install some parts (springs/shocks, rsb/fsb) and rotors/pads/ss lines. I got quoted at a few places

SPA racing in Winthrop quoted me 820..WTF
KGA in Reading 75/hr about 5-6hrs ~450
suspension specialists in Allston 800 suspension only...another WTF
waiting to hear back from Kaizen and Boston Dyno

anyways, if you guys know of any good places around Boston let me know, otherwise will take it to a friend's shop in western mass do it for ~200

I would probably be able to do the fsb/rsb myself but I'd rather a shop mess with brake stuff and I don't have tools for suspension install =(

thanks!

i have heard SPA racing has a bad rep and thus moved to different locations over the years. (selling non authentic parts). this is not from personal experience though, just based on what i have been hearing

Half of these you can do it yourself if you have the right tool. However, living in New England weather, you're probably gonna have to deal with frozen/rusted bolts, etc...
Did you try Pro-Spec in Quincy? or JT Motoring? I got my suspension works done at these places.

Yeah the RS/FSB I can def do myself, the main thing is springs/shocks. Brakes, I've never worked on before.

I got a quote from both those shops

JT: 650
pro spec: 200 shocks/springs
250 brakes

If I knew how to do brakes I'd probably bring it to pro spec, thanks for the tips
