A good shop for suspension?

Hi all,

Want to install my springs and camber kit soon...just wondering what shops are prefered by 7th gen owners. I want somewhere that:

- that knows exactly what they're doing (price is not #1 concern)
- is in the GTA (Scarborough is best)

Or if you did it yourself, what kind of problems did you run into? Was it difficult?

Many thanks!

Pickering's OK, I don't mind going a bit further if it's worth it...

So it was a good quality job? How much it cost? How long did it take?

Also, pass on the contact info if you can. Thanks!

Thanks FOB! Heh heh, I always think your name is so jokes...I'm a CBC, personally!

I will definitely check it out...I assume from the name they do other stuff too right? I got a bunch of things that I'm too lazy/not skilled enough to do myself, so this will be perfect.

I will try calling Defcon as well...

I called Alex's and they said they don't do the alignment after the drop - I was hoping for somewhere that did...that way it'd be more convenient.

Thanks dudes

So yeah, went to Defcon at 4 today and got them installed...good price & good job!

So I'm one happy camper...except I discovered my front shock was blown!

Thanks for the recommendation...
