looking for a good shop in the north bay
 
Im looking for a good shop in the north bay Im located 45 min north of sf mainly looking for a suspension specialist I want to get this car to stick to the ground while putting decent power down. I plan on getting all the cusco power and body braces, debating on what coilovers to run looking at cusco sport zero-3s, eibach r2, or kw v3, and waiting on Bilstein b16, tires Im planning on running are the mich pss 245/35/18 front and 255/35/18 rear i dont really want that soft of a tire as this will still be a daily driver, but if i have to run softer to get it to plant then thats what i gotta do i just need some help finding the right spring rates and roll bars i dont want a dramaticly hard ride either.. someone point me in the right direction.

Dang! You got money to burn. I'd go with the r2. Dont have any info about the b16 though.

its all in time my friend lol but im workin on getting some sponsers to help me out im also tryin to get my ass on the race track at the same time haha but im not so much worried about which brand as much as which spring rate/dampening set up i should be looking for.

Lic motorsports in Novato would be my suggestion

BigFatFlip 03-03-2013 12:52 PM

+1 for LIC, great with my wrx, although I'm not sure how many brzs they've worked on

It really depends on your budget. I pick RS-R or KW

I have RS-R on my car and everybody that rides my car does not believe that i have coilovers on.

XPR Small Block 03-03-2013 02:45 PM

budget for coilovers is about 2500 give or take, im not really worried on ride quality as much as performance, i want this car to keep its ass end planted on theses curvey mountain roads :)
