Where to Replace Bushings in Edmonton

Hey guys, I've been trying to diagnose a rattle/knock coming from my rear suspension for a while now. I'm pretty confident that its being caused by the bushings at the bottom of the back struts. Mine are pretty mangled and need to be swapped out. I'm going to pick up a set of aftermarket bushings, but I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good place to get them done. I'm hoping I won't have to spend an arm and a leg on these things. Thanks for your input.

Wish I could help you, Aidan, but I don't know the Edmonton shops at all. Bump for bushings.

I wish Lightspeed was closer. I dropped by Project Omega today. I talked to Rob the owner. He seems like a good guy and definitely knows his imports. He said it shouldn't be more than an hour and half to replace both bushings. Have any Northern Alberta guys had any luck with Omega? I know Sean got his stretch tires mounted there and didn't have any complaints. When my WORKS arrive, I'll probably do the same.

Well now I feel like an idiot. I would have sworn that you said Speedworks.

I met Rob before he seems like a good guy and have seen some of his work....it is ok. It is the only shop in Edmonton I would take my car to.

He seemed to know a lot of you guys. He mentioned Sasha's mid mount build and the "silver" JWT TT from Sylvan Lake. He also offered to help me install my front, sides and rear (pre-fitted and painted) for a small charge on the side. Would you recommend doing that with him, or are there better options out there?
