For suspension, Group2 in Seattle is very good.

+1 for Group2 for suspension tuning.

Engine tuning hands down ER, but if you're looking for alignment/corner balance/ride height you can't go wrong at g2.

For suspension Group2 is the place to go...they have setup Ohlins, Motons, Clubsports, bushing installs, alignments, corner balance, yadda yadda. They aren't cheap though...just so you know. Typical alignment & corner balance is gonna run you a tad over 2 bills most likely, but it's done right. Speaking of such I am on my way back there real soon...

Just a word on g2's accuracy. Last month I had a corner balance/alignment done there, and Chris actually noted the camber was off left to right by .01 degree, and if I'd like him to correct it before I left...

I've seen my alignment sheets from Firestone at least 10 times now, and I'm lucky if they're in .1 of each other with my lifetime alignment... 1/2 the time they don't even adjust the camber, so they align it twice...

Having worked at a Les Schwab and Firestone in my earlier days and doing alignments Chris is about as good as it gets. When he gave me my print out it was exactly 0.0 toe and exactly -2.5 camber.....not 2.51 or 2.49.

From what I heard he is also quite a remarkable driver and one hell of a scary ride down at PR.

Are they hard to get/more expensive in Canada?

If you really wanted to get one down here your best bet would be to buy it from Driveline and have it shipped. They are in California but they keep them in stock and have fast shipping. You could have it sent directly to English Racing and then have them put it on while you are down there for your tune. It would be $799US shipped to a business address, plus probably normal shop rate for the install.

Ofcourse then you would have to figure out what to do with your old bumper
