I have been driving my AS VIII for over 6 years now, it has over 100K miles on it, and it shows and feels like it has those 100K miles, lol. Anyway, I am looking for suggestions on a shop to take it to for body and suspension work. I am looking into getting new wheels (still has the original Enkeis), getting the wing removed, or at least rehabbed (the dreaded clear coat problem). Also need the calipers repainted or at least re-clear coated.

Also looking to get the car's very rough idle taken care of and fix the fire shield on the exhaust pipe (vibrates and makes noise). Maybe even get a whole new pipe put in.

I am mostly looking for comfort, noise and appearance solutions not performance (though if I can get that as a side-effect, I'll take it). I am not DIYer by any length, except for the occasional oil changes/wheel rotations, etc. Any suggestions you could give me for with a place that you feel comfortable taking your car to will be very welcomed!

I am in the Norfolk VA area.

 

Lonnie at Lasculoa Motorworks can help you with the mechanics. maybe some minor appearence mods. call them up. they are the best hands down.

 

+1 ^^^^^^^

LMS is da only shop that touched my Evo but for tuning, Kreionic may be able to help!

 

the wing removal is literally 4 nuts to remove, anyone can do that. for getting the wing rehabbed and same with your brakes id go to stock or modified right here in virginia beach....As far as actual engine work and suspension everyone has their specific mechanic they use so thats gonna be a choice of your own(LMS, CBRD, Sage, All Aspects ect). If your looking to stay local i believe sage auto can do most if not all of what your looking for in that aspect as well as they can order you new wheels ect.

^ cant go wrong with CBRD too.

 

Definatly the only people who will ever tune my car.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! I'll give Stock or Modified bodyworks a run as well as Sage as they are local. Can't really do the trip to check out CBRD or LMS unfortunately.

 

Good luck, let us know if we can help!!
