Default Where to have custom work done...

Hey guys, I just bought some new toys for my GS400. (see those items here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...0&page=1&pp=15).

I picked up Tein CS coilovers, and StopTech drilled BBK. But I'm trying to find a place that will do this type of custom installation work. Where do you all do this? I'm in the Seattle/Bellevue area.

I'm thinking of Car Nutz, but wanted to know what options are out there.

Thanks,
Ron

what part of washington are you in...i can do the work....i need some money for my own coilovers. but are you sure those brake calipers are going to clear the wheels...might need some spacers.

btw, i've done Skyline engines into 240sx's, auto to manual swaps, suspension, brakes, all kinds of stuff with cars. just PM me or something

LOL That is what I was thinking. I installed the L-Tuned Shocks/Springs and it was easy. I could help too if needed.

We COULD do it here but I don't have many tools for that kinda thing and we could just throw some burgers on the grill and show off the Chevelle but then again...... I still live with the parents so lord knows how that would go
