Talking KW V3 Coilovers Install - Recommend a Good Shop in SoCal?

Hi all,

I've searched around the forum but didn't see what I was looking for. I just got the KW V3's for my 08' Obsidian F and wondered if any of you can recommend a shop in the So. Cal. area that already has experience doing the install on the IS-F?

Thanks in advance!

Also, a quick shoutout to the guys and gals at Circuit Motorsports for excellent customer service!

You would get more responses if you posted in the Southern California Section. But I recommend Tommy.

If you're close to San Gabriel, then Tommy is the guy. He's done quite a bit of KW installations including mine. His number is (626) 823-2853.

You should take it to Darin at West End Alignment. It's a bit of a drive, but well worth it. He's very experienced with KWs and since you're probably going to want to align the car and set the suspension after you install him, you might as well do it all in one shot and get a discount as well. Darin knows his stuff as many track enthusiasts and teams go to him.

Another vote for Tommy, he's quite possibly the best person to deal with when it comes to installing your parts. A really good guy, takes care of you like a friend rather than a customer.
