Default Wheres the DMV Crowd?

Not hating on Cali's strong presence here on this forum, but is there anybody else here frequenting CL from the DC-Maryland-Virginia region? I have alot of work I'm looking to get done but I don't know where to go. The overwhelming majority of the performance shops in my area seem to only specialize in jacking huge F150's 2 feet in the air or turbo charging Impalas and Camaros.

Not exactly the type of places I'd want working on my SC. Sorry Mods if my post is in the wrong area.

Thanx for the replies everyone.

I want to replace my control arm bushings, I think they may be the culprit of this annoying squeak I got coming from my back tire, steering rack bushings, I got some eibach springs collecting dust I wanted to install(wanted to get new wheels first though, if anybody is selling Lexus OEM wheels 17 or better I'm interested)

In the future I'd like to upgrade my exhaust and torque converter.

There is an install meet in the VA next month on the 12th. We're lowering a few cars that day, so we can help out with the springs at the very least.

i'm pretty sure they have welders as they have 3 separate buildings for body, mechanical and paint.
