Does anyone know any good speed shops in the Seattle area?


I paid about $275 for eibach's installed and 4 wheel alignment.

Does that price include the springs? I see your are near ATL, have you called or PM'd Sharif at Forged Performance yet to see what he would charge?

500 is way too much. Mine was done for 1/5th of that, in under an hour too.

This quote from the dealer did not include springs. The springs from the coupe can't be used on the vert. I was hoping to have some eibachs specific for the vert but they are discontinued or just never made (posts from 3/22/10 in this thread has the details). So I'd rather wait and get some supported springs for the vert or try the eibach fronts for the coupe as it should be shared parts up to the a pillar. So no, I've not called forge until I have something in hand. I have talked to fastlaneimports and they would need to see the suspension (at the time front and back) before providing a quote. If I get the fronts only done assuming there is compatibility with current front coupe springs I would not want to pay more than 150-175.
