Default Anyone In The Northern Virginia Area: If You've Had Work Done By A SpeedShop...

Good morning all. To those that are in the NOVA area, and have had work done by a speedshop in the area before (and of course were happy with the results) could you please post the name of the shop and if you have them, their phone number and location?

I need to get some preliminary estimates on installing and recalibrating the parts I plan on ordering from AM.com at the end of the month.

Thanks.

I got my gears installed at Excessive Motorsport in Manasass. They were ok, they kind of ripped me off a little and my gears whine at 45mph (a common problem with 4.10s, so I don't know if it's their fault or not).

Hey man, how did you find out about those deals and do you know if those sub frames are full length and if they are welded or bolted?

Oh man, dont get me started. I cant tell you how many stories Ive heard of them ****ing up tunes, INCLUDING my car. Personally, Id only go there for little bolt on stuff. Other then that, stay away. If you want details, then PM me. Im not going to post it on a public forum and start ****.

However, they did my axles and I dont have a problem.

Check out http://eb3motorsports.com/

Those subframes are ones they make. You get what you pay for...
Either way, never install bolt in subframes or roll bars. That stuff needs to be welded.

I can also do a lot of things in my garage.

The deals are on their home page; http://www.excessivemotorsport.net/ and I have no idea about the sub frames.
