Default Tein CS install?

Ok, I am getting ready to do some work on the 02 430 I juts picked up and need a source for install.

I need to get some Tein CS installed and will be picking up rims at the same time.

Can anyone help me with a local shop, 949 or 714 that they have a good experience with?

Carson recommends a shop in Monrovia, which I will go if need be, just a bit far from Lake Forest you know?

Thanks!

When I talked with L-tuned, they told me to call west end alignment and I still may do that, is that you by any chance?

if not, what would charge to install the shocks and make sure the alignment is ok?

do you need to do an alignment when you install?

I did talk with dynamic in Lake Forest, thanks for the recommendation, they want 250 and will match the price of the tein cs from carson if I pay cash from them.

it's getting close.... rims and suspension in the next 3 weeks.... i'll post pics soon

You might want to install everything before dong the alignment.
Also, If you do go to Westend make the appointment early, this guy is usually booked for weeks.

I got a place that i go to thats border OC and LA. Its right off the 5 north of the 91. Their the only guys that i trust to touch my Supra. Its called Creative car audio and motorsports, they do almost anything there. The address is :

15421 Carmenita Rd., unit N
Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670.
(562) 623 - 0777

Their really reasonible on priceing and always do quality work. Ask for Ryan, tell him SupraSteve recommended you. As for alignment, i would recommend that you let the springs settle for about a week or so before getting it aligned.

I have to second TM Engineering. The drive may be a bit much but then again, there are those who drive hundreds of miles to get work done by Todd.

Try Dave @ Status Auto Design in Hermosa Beach (310) 937-8382.

He has done all my cars for me. Last time I was there, they were installing some crazy exhaust on a Lambo....

STOP! Since you mentioned Lake Forest I will recommend you take your car to Clark's House of Suspension IN Lake Forest! Its on Dimension and Vista Terrace!!

I have used and recommend this shop to anyone, Clark does ALL kinds of suspension/brake/alignment work and thats all they do! Plus if your car is slammed they can accomodate that as well. Pricing wise they are a little higher than Dynamic would be, but seriously if you're going to pay someone to install your CS's might as well make it someone that does suspension for a living. They work on all kinds of cars, so if you see a F350 with a 36" lift out front dont get scared away, they know their imports. 866-553-6183

Their address is 26901 Vista Terrace. Hope this helps
