Can anyone recommend a reputable shop in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area? Looking to install coilovers on my ISF along with a couple of bushings.

Thanks for suggestions Halon.

I can probably do the install myself but I'm feeling a bit lazy, plus I need an alignment afterwards anyway.

Twidge are you a mechanic at a shop?

Twidge

I don't consider myself a mechanic, but I am a partner at Tint Pros. I do about 2-3 suspensions a month at the shop. I lowered my gs350 last month when it came off the truck from texas. Used to do a lot more maintenance work at a different shop, but I work full time at a corp building.. lol If you want to get work done, just let me know. unfortunately, I don't have a press.

^^ You're at Tint Pros? My wifes Fusion and my Durango R/T are both tinted from you guys. Been trying to get my SC in to get tinted but when AJ does his 'tint days' where you guys go over to his garage, the SC is never running.

Anyway, you guys do good work man!

Twidge

yea, I'm tint Pro's... lol I'm never there though. 'Most of my work is done after hours. But thanks!

What do you drive? I don't really 'know' anyone there, but the owner that did my Durango is the one with the white NSX. And one of the guys who did my buddies Cobalt SS used to have a MS6 I think. That's about all I remember, lol. Really nice guys, and I love the weekend tint days they put on

Twidge

I sold my 550i last week, but I drive the white nsx as well as the m3 and a newer gs350 f sport

Oh yeah OK, u do a million cars so doubt u remember me, but I had a black Durango RT. Tinted at AJs tint day at his house, but it got a little too cold so we relocated to ur shop. Two of us with Durango that day, the other guy couldn't find his key. I mentioned I had helped Momin (Elite) do the TBW wiring on the red NSX-T there too.

Anyway, no idea you had a Lexus, very cool. I need to get my SC300 there for tint one of these days! If you're mechancel work is half as good as your tint work, would recommend these guys any day.

Twidge

I used to have an is300 way back in the day.

Anyone have their wheels re-powder coated and redone in a different color by any of the local shops?
http://twincitywheel.com/ has the highest reviews and it seems like they do good work. Anyone here used them before?

Twin Cities Powder Coating in Lino did a bunch of my under the hood coating, as well as my buddies OEM TT wheels. His wheels look better than new. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat.
