Default toyota /lexus shops in N-NJ

Sup fellas? Anyone know any performance shops around north jersey that specialize in toyota/lexus? i want to start modding my 2G GS300 soon and i want to get a feel of a few shops. most of the stuff i can do myself but rather not. After building and playing with my honda i rather let someone else work on my lex.

There only 2 ways to go with our cars. U go srt intake & chip, headers, & ignition ect (around $1300). Or turbo. With the first way u might get 240 if u get lucky. Turbo u will get an easy 300.

there is also one by edgewater that does supras. undercover performance. i would check the ones TJ mention as undercover performance looks a bit pricey but you can check them out.

finally got my lbj's done BUT....my stearing wheel wont return back to the middle after turning. im guessing it needs to be greased up? i also need an alignment now. when i hit the brakes the steering wheel shakes.

when you said alignment is off and when you brake does the steering wheel swing to one side or swing from side to side? it could be your alignment and it also could be your brakes, but since u just installed the LBJ most likely the alignment.
