Nor Cal coilover installation + EDFC install

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend someone in nor cal who has experience not only with putting coils on but also with tein's EDFC. The wiring and stuff is the hard part and I'm not sure I'd trust just anyone to do it.

Any ideas? Before I start planning a road trip to socal to get heeltoe to do it haha.

Try vex motorsports by 13th in San Jose. They're solid and their prices are fair.

Winston installed my Tein SS. Also try Tech3. If you go to Vex, ask for Herb. He doesn't work there permanently anymore but does still work for them part time. Only set up an appointment with them if only Herb can do it. He has the experience and will put care into his work.

Second on Winston, he installed my springs and is more than capable of installing coil overs.

ill 2nd herb at vex, he does most of my work..also you try to call tech3..ask for paul prum..either way, tell em adrian with the "vip" tl sent you. glad to see eddie is a satisfied customer of vex!

in the sac area tho, theres a shop called TNT AutoSport...EXCELLENT reputation, mainly in the g35 crowd...theyre your best bet and local..absolutely no reason to drive down to heeltoe just for a coil and EDFC install..

personally id just invite a friend over and tackle it myself.

Yeah Herb did my installation, I tried to do it myself for a couple days with everything you can think of, my bolts were completely seized. My car went on the rack, kept them busy all day, had cars waiting but they still completed it in one day for the same price they quoted me at.

@Bleak: you can email Winston (winstonsautoservice@gmail.com) directly although if he's busy he may not get back to you right away, but within a couple days is more likely. You can tell him that Chris and/or Brandon from Acurazine referred you. I'll be down at his shop on Monday morning
