Good shop in Midwest?

I live in Evansville, IN which is about 2 or 3 hours from Indy IN, Cincinnati OH, St Louis MO, Louisville KY, Nashville TN...

You get the picture, is there any shop you would recommend around the area to install a set of coilovers? I've gotten a couple quotes around town but not only would I prefer a professional installing these, but someone I know that isn't gonna rip me off.

Any suggestions?

Ask your regional SCCA group. You will need to get those corner balanced and aligned right.

Stay away from Adrenaline Motorsports is the best advice I can give.

I know your pain, I live in Evansville as well. (In the middle east at the moment.) When I get back in January, I'm taking the time to take the car to Buschur's to get some work done and a tune for my EMS.

The local Mitsu dealership has a couple guys that I'd trust to do coil-overs, but you're gonna pay out the %$# for labor (it's a dealership). If you want the info on who to talk to at the dealership shoot me a PM.

There is a place in Louisville that all the local SCCA guys use. It's called Evolution Motorsports. They will balance the car with you in it.

You do realize you're only about 2-3 hours away from AMS?
