Suspension shop in Dade..

Hey folks. I just got qouted $270+alignment to install an Eibach Pro kit on my sedan. Seems kinda high to me. Any suggestions to some good shops in the Dade area that can do this? Thanks.

I think I paid around $125 to have my Tein springs and shocks installed at Intense Motorsports near the Falls.

I did the alignment for $50 at Goodwear Tire in Opa Locka; good work but dangerous area.

Be aware you will probably need new front A arms and a rear camber kit like I did. My drop was 1.5" and I needed these in order to align correctly. I'm not sure how far Eibach's drop, but if it's more than 1", you better budget for this extra stuff.

Here's a review I did a while back with the details: http://g35driver.com/forums/showthre...6&page=1&pp=15


Also, it's "Goodwear" not "Goodyear".

You may also want to try Miami-Chasis. The price is a little high, but they do great work.

Maybe you had a positive experience and that's great, but I had a negative experience. Also, their idea of correcting camber on the front A-arms is to rig it by drill into the A-arm and frame and bolting in a different manner vs. using a properly manufactured A-arm designed for the application.

Dude, in my first post I told you about Intense Motorsports for $125 for both shocks and springs on my car, and this included a follow up visit for inspection, plus they did a very good job. What do you consider a "reasonable" price.

As I stated in post #3, they're near the Falls. I don't have the number and they do not have a website, but you can call 411. Ask for Steve.
