Anyone know a good shop (toronto area) for a drop on a G?

Hey guys,
wondering if anyone has experience with a shop in the GTA that you can vouch for doing a drop on an 08G35X (price is an issue, I know dealers want a lot).

I lowered my Camry myself, as well as my older cars to save some bucks, I wouldn't mind doing it again on the G, but if the price is right, I may not even want to bother.

If not, does anyone have a link from this site or others with a DIY spring job for this car?

Thanks guys.

I'd strongly suggest simone performance in newmarket.

http://www.simoneperformance.com/

I've had work done on my car before and they do a great job, ask for Vic.

2nd Simoneperformance.

Tell Vic you are a member of G35driver and get a small discount.

Always quality work and highly recommended by many around these parts.

Not sure on shops near you, but i go to SPI - Simone Performance Imports for my modding work as well.

i think Vic said he chargers something like $200 to install a set of springs, but i cant remember off the top of my head; check out their site if you want his contact info http://www.simoneperformance.com/index.html

i will probably head back up there next month to install a set of H&R lowering springs.

has anyone here done it themselves? is it very difficult? I am sure there must be a writeup either either here or on my350z.com? i cannot wait to install my tein s-tech springs & SPC camber kit.

the front is pretty straightforward man, same as on pretty much every car, and the back for that matter too...

The real question for installing the rears is accessing the top of the strut tower. I had to remove half the back seat assmbly in my camry when i dropped it. Took me longer to do that than the rest of the car. anyone know the procedure?
