Default Help! - Recommendation for Shop to Install Lowering Springs
Hey Guys-
I bought a brand new 2008 GS350 AWD today and am getting things lined up for mods. Thanks to another thread, I have an appointment with UMBRA on Saturday morning for tints (thanks for the recommendations). I just placed an order for Tanabe NF210 lowering springs.

Can you guys provide a reputable shop/place where I can get these installed? If you could provide some places (and numbers if you have them) I would GREATLY appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

I am willing to travel anywhere in Chicago. I am traveling over an hour to get the windows tinted, so finding a good place to do the springs I am willing to go even further.

I have zero hope in finding something in Northwest Indiana for which I live.

Thanks!

What a LONG day So after 9 hours we got the AWD car done for Brian and made it 1/2 through Matt's car till his Key Lug broke on us. I cant keep up with you young guys anymore

Brian post some pics of your car

Time to eat and pass out
