Anyone know a good differential / performance shop that installs final drives?
 
Question above, I called so many performance shops and apparently they're all afraid or too lazy to install the final drives. If anyone knows a rave reviewed shop please lmk. I'd go with evasive but like always they;'re too well known so their prices hurt :/

I had mine done in Indio Calif at Ball Automotive and have been very happy with their work. PM me if you want more info.

I don't think he works there anymore..

It's so hard to find a shop that does this x.x

They did my Cusco LSD and final drive install last year and it has been working flawlessly.

I messaged them as well, but they're really slow to respond and don't seem like they're interested in doing this job either.

Performance shops? Or transmission/differential shops?

Anyone who can service a differential can install a final drive for you.

If you don't want to pay Evasive prices, then I'm curious to what you are willing to pay for a diff install.

I'd keep trying, it is a one person shop. The effort will be worth it.

Evasive's asking for 900$ not including anything which ends up being around 2k for everything installed. Many big shops offer them for around 400-500, one of the few that I asked either don't want to do it cuz its too big of a job, or have a really long wait time.

Talk to Unitrax in Anaheim. They specialize in differential installs and do great work for a fair price.
