NY or Connecticut area-Acura aftermarket suspension installation?

Hi Acura community, I am a new TL owner, and I love this forum! you guys are sooo helpful. Does anyone have any suggesstions on where I can go in the Connecticut or NY area to get some aftermarket Tein suspension installed? I know this requieres professional experience, and I want to go to someone who knows exactly what to mod if needed.

Hey I live in Stamford too. I just installed my coilover's last month in my garage with just the help of a friend(I have lots of tools!). You might be able to do it yourself and save a couple hundred bucks. Its really not that hard if you know what your doing.
But if you must have it done professionally I have a friend who is the head-mechanic at a shop in Norwalk, who does side-jobs at the shop on Saturdays. He has that much pull... He is my go-to guy for anything over my head.
Some guys mentioned excellerate performance. He is a sponsor here and is a great resource for parts for your car. I bought most of my mods from him However he is in Branford, an hour away from Stamford.
I also know of the only alignment shop in the area that can properly align lowered cars. They have the only shop around were you drive over a pit and the guys work from underneath. So it doesn't matter how low you go you don't have to worry about ruining your front bumper. Hit me up for more info if your interested.

slam it. you can spec your wheels out according to how low you want to go. adding a camber kit will open up some options for you as well.
