Suspension installs in Houston?

Any have a shop recommendation that has had spacers installed on their F80/F82 in Houston?

I'm also looking to get a set of springs installed, so a recommendation for either would be helpful.

Thanks!

I would give Alex a call. He works on Khandom's Lambo, Porsche, etc. He installed the KW HAS on my M4 and it turned out awesome.
713-816-5595.
Hope this helps!

If you decide to DIY it, let me know.. I can give you a hand. It's a pretty painless process.

What about a recommendation for a shop that could lift a truck? Picked up a 2006 4Runner 4x4 and want to put some bigger tires on it, suspension lift, etc. I had 4x4Offroad put on the wheel spacers, but did not feel confident in their lift and tire quotes. Have looked around the various Toyota forums but can't get a good local recommendation. Long shot asking here, but worth it I guess.

Thanks for the heads up. I found a shop in Spring Branch that does pretty serious work on those rock crawler buggies (crazy builds btw) and his quote came back about what I was expecting. I'm not getting the lift until first week of February so I'll check the Katy guys before then. I'm not too far from there anyway.

Just got my car back from Alex, that guy was awesome! He installed my spacers and springs for an extremely reasonable price, the guy was really nice too.

I love it! The drop isn't too aggressive, but still balances out the car and the spacers really help fill the wheel well better!

I picked up a set of eurocharged downpipes on eBay for super cheap, so I'm looking forward to the next round of shenanigans. Hopefully will order the JB4 in a week or so.

What springs did you get? Do you mind post some pictures? How's the ride comparing to stock? Cuz I just picked my car and debating if I should lower it or not since you know the roads here in Houston are crap.

I got the Eibach springs, it's a moderate drop. I haven't had any issues in Houston, so im pretty satisfied with them.

This thread has great pics, i posted some of my car on page 4 too
