Suggestions for place to replace engine/suspension + upgrades
Suggestions for place to replace engine/suspension + upgrades
Hi, looking for some suggestions for somewhere in the North East (I'm in CT) to take my X for an uprated engine/suspension and other upgrades.
Had the Evo for 7 years and thought about buying an RS, but refuse to pay over the MSRP in principal. So decided to rejuvenate the X which has 120,000 miles on with the only issue being a rear wheel bearing.
Current mods are UICP, K&N, Accessport, test pipe and cat-back.

Thanks for those suggestions, looking to spend about $15k so will be in contact with the shops and see what they propose. Car runs great just would like to freshen it up a little!
tscompusa is offering great deals on engine builds & tuning. They are located in Pennsylvania which is only about 4hrs from Connecticut. I would also recommend doing your bushings and getting a set of Ohlins R&T.

We now do full builds also and have a shop and we have full builds that are extremely reliable. Some with almost 40K on them. We have some 700WHP builds with 20K+ on them.
When I do full builds I do a flat rate fee at $4,000. Which includes fluids, tuning, and all machine labor costs. We disassemble the car, we reassemble the car, we build the engine, and we pretty much provide a turn key RELIABLE vehicle back to the customer for only 4K flat rate.
We now also just started offering porting and other services. Only problem I have is, we run out of space quick at the current shop, but anyone who goes through us for any kind of vehicle labor I can GUARANTEE a happy customer. We also warranty our work.
Just throwing that out there. We have gotten cars from all over the US shipped to us, and have 10 Evo's at the moment at the shop.

I would also recommend getting KW's. Really good coilovers with varying adjustability. However, you will be using stock top hats.
If lowering, you can flip front camber bolts to achieve some negative camber for front wheels

I would also like the same suggestions but a little farther southwest. I am in West Virginia so western PA, eastern KY, southern OH and western VA or maybe even western MD would all be options for me. Pittsburgh is 3.5 hours, Lexington is 3 hours, Columbus is 3 hours... Nashville is 7 hours but I don't want to have to go THAT far.
