john from exact motorsport!!! he is also in milpitas. 4160061

tell them henry (the one with acura tls and lexus gs400) refers you

probably the best shop around here

Or tell him [john] that Chris, with the red gs400 -- HA's installed last week, referred you.

Either way you can't go wrong.

Hi John,

Thanks for the info.!!! Wondering how much they charge and take how long to install it?

Thanks

$180. $45 to raise or lower at any later point. 2-3 hours for the complete install. Owner's name is John.

KevGS4

Thanks a lot from both of you!!

I just can't wait anymore to get it installed!!

Hey guys, one more question!

What's your stiffness setting with your GS? I perfer a middle stiffness since I am still using the stock rims, will plan to get a 18" later, and 1 inch drop is enough for me at this time.

Thanks!!

read my other thread on comments for the HA. i think 0/0 wil give you the best results in your case. you sure about just 1" drop?

I'm at the softest setting at the moment. When I eventually adjust I'll be looking to tune the front/rear balance [tending just a tad to oversteer].

Kev - rominl and redgs4 are right on with recommending John. He is really the installer of choice for South Bay HA kits. According to redgs4, he also does other service related functions such as oil changes, etc.

oh yeah, he does a lot of stuff. oil change, transmission fluid, timing belt, tune up, etc...

susepension mods, lighting systems, wheels / tires, engine mods like exhuast and intakes, etc...

very knowledgeable guys. my coworker who is very into car recommended him to me. john and sandy (his wife) are both very very nice

KevGS4

Thank you so much of all your advise!!

Definitely I will give him a call when I get some free time next week!!

KevGs4,

I'm interested in knowing how well your car aligns after. I'm looking for data points since you are planning a much milder drop.

Hi guys,

Finally I got my TEIN installed, since it is just a 1 inch drop, you won't see any different from outside, but you will feel it when you get on it. John from Exact Motosport set the stiffness setting to the softest at the very beginning, the feeling is about the stock one. Therefore, he set it to 10 clicks (totally it has 21 clicks), now you will feel little bit different on normal street driving, but you will feel much more bounding on freeway.
I think I will set it softer when I get the rims upgrade later. Anyway, John did a very good job!! Recommended!!!

John and team installed my TEIN HA's today within two hours. I dropped it about 2 1/2 - 3 inches on stock 17's and it looks awesome!! My setting is on 5/5 and it rides awesome!!!
