HTL Motorsports in Santa Clara. Give danny a call at (408) 217-9161. He is super reliable, fast, and cheaper than most shops.

Yep! Gave him a visit while I was down at Cars and Crossaints this weekend and he gave me a great price coupled with promising reviews!

Visited the shop: wasn't open. There are also absolutely no reviews online.

Carlin can care less about Yelp reviews. He actually hates Yelp. Yelp the company are a bunch of bullies when it comes to business. They tried to make him pay for add space or something. I'd go by the recommendations here. When did you stop by?

I stopped by on a Saturday morning on the way down to Cars and Crossaints 100OCT.

Do you know of any specific CL threads that speak on behalf of Carlin's quality of work?
I was also suggested HTL Motorsports, and they quoted me a very similar price, coupled with excellent Yelp reviews.

I'm assuming you're on Instagram. Look up ipautodesign. That's his Instagram. Most of his customers won't write up a review. They just look at the quality of work coming from him. All of my work and Nat's work on our cars get done by Carlin. And it's not just a part here or a part there. We brought in completely stock cars and came out with show winning builds. So coilovers will be a cake walk.
