Seems like a good shop. I have not had work done there but have heard from a couple guys who did. I stopped by one day to check it out and they were working on a sick TT G with all kinds of custom upgrades.

well considering the dealer wanted $660 to install springs i think i got off reall good. doing those springs the right way (torque wrenching, compression etc.) takes over an hour itself unless your some super tool and never mind taking apart the plenum/manifold...i dont mind paying the extra dollar for a job as long as its done the way it should be the 1st time! my car rides amazing!

well yeah of course the dealer is gonna try to rip you off.

i had my springs and shocks installed at japtrix, it took the guy about an hour and a half, w/ the shocks taking the most time to install.

i did my plenum myself, not having a clue what i was doing and it took me less than an hour.

i'm not saying they dont do good work but at $100/ hr is a lil much for me

you still havent told us, what you are having done. if its gonna some sick custom job them yes billet design is the way to go.

but its gonna be something simple, ie springs, exhaust, etc then Premier Performance would be good enough

I know a couple of pretty good shops especially for body and suspension work in Miami, one of them did my buddy's springs for $100. Let us know what exactly you're looking for.

Left a voicemail and email msg at Billet for my exhaust install. I hear nothing but good things about this shop so I'll let everyone know once the install is done.
