you gonna get an alignment done shortly afterwards?

if not, your g may pull to the left too much and your steering may be offset to the right at about 10 degrees off-center.

i usually do mods myself so i wouldn't know of a reputable place otherwise if i wasn't so busy these coming weekends i wouldln't mind helping out.....

I have always done my own work also. There are a few shops, but I have heard that they are expensive and don't always offer the best service. Motorsports Dynamics is the only place I can think of off of the top of my head. I know that there is a performance shop in Rancho. I think that it is called Midnight. If you have the right tools you can do it yourself and save $200.

I would have to say Motorsports Dynamics off of Arden, but they closed down. Midnight is another good place, but they might be expensive...[http://www.midnightperformance.com/]

I work on Stockton Blvd and saw a new shop that opened called Octane Motorsports. It's between 65th and Florin Rd. Small shop... you can try them. Found their phone number online: 916.366.0230

There's a place off of 47 and franklin .. I think its called SMA.. I had my springs and shocks done there for $80 when i had my eclipse a couple years back.. it shouldn't take more than an hour and half.. two hours tops.. but you can stand back and watch them to make sure they don't do anything wrong
