Default Good motosport shop in Maryland

Hey guys

I'm looking for a reputable shop to install suspension (tein cst w/ edfc). I'm frown upon going to a dealer for this kind of service (more expensive and not sure if they know what they're doing)

Any good experience w/ a reputable shop is appreciated

try asking around in the regional sections. Over here is a real wide range of people from all over, NELOC should help narrow it down.

You should have an install party(there are a few guys in NELOC that can do the coilover install) and have the EDFC tuned at a local shop that carries them. MidAtlantic in Baltimore can do it but bring your check book. What part of MD are you in?

I can't think of any shops out in SS that can do the install for you. We all usually do our our installs. EDFC doesn't require tuning. You need to run the wiring from the motors on top of the shocks to the control unit. From there you just program your own dampening setting yourself.

Unfortunately due to recent injury I can't help you install them, but hopefully another local can meet up with you. Some of our Northern VA guys could also help if you're willing to meet up with them. Try PMing CL member 70Three. He has good experience with coilover and EDFC install on the 2IS. If you can't get a hold of him on here let me know can I'll get you his contact info.

What kind of car do you have, and where would you like the edfc installed?

I can do it if I have time.
