Coilover Install in Orlando?

Hey guys,

just curious if theres any reputable shops in the orlando area that can install some coilovers on a GE8?

Yes....I know....theres plenty DIY's on how to install them yourself, but I'd rather have someone who actually has knowledge on installing these to do it themselves. That way, if anything messes up, I can always go back and blame it on them
Oh, and they're D2 Racing Coilovers, if that makes any difference.....

thanks ahead of time for any info!

I am right there with you, I have springs I need installed on my 09 fit sport. I could no doubt do the spring install myself but I would rather someone with experience do it. And I would need an alignment afterwards so I am told.

just got them installed at JoTech Performance in Kissimmee.
They did a fairly decent job of installing them, although they literally took all day to finish (i was there from 11am-6pm ) i honestly dont think it should take THAT long to install them, but anywho, still have to get an alignment but wont be doing that until i get my BBS's redrilled and mounted

springs shouldnt take as long.
i guess what slowed my installation down was that they had to lift the car on the rack, adjust the coilover, bring it down, test ride and repeat until the ride height was where i wanted it

be warned though, i do have an amber ABS Light and amber VSA light on now, probably since they had to disconnect brake lines and such so the sensors are probably going out of wack. I hear its only a serious problem when its a red light though so im not worried.

like fitdeez said.
do some good searching on local forums as well as on the vw forums cuz they love these wheels, you just might find a set in good condition.
