Coilover install

I live in MN and I'm having a hard time finding any shop that is recommended and focuses on suspension tuning. Would you guys see any issues with going to a GoodYear or PepBoys to get my coilovers installed?

See that's what I m worried about. I've got another couple of months before I can pull the G out and get all my stuff installed. Worst case scenario I plan on taking a drive south to Forged performance.

Thats what i would do. Get a few mods and put em in the trunk, coilovers, camber kit, sway bars..maybe? And just head on down to Forged and get it all done at once. They are a very reputable shop, you'd have nothing to worry about.

That, and you can enjoy the drive home!

That sounds like my only options at this point. Heard a lot of good from that shop. My nav has estimated the trip one way at 16 hrs which isn't too bad for quality work and peace of mind in my opinion. We'll see what happens.

^^ that s very true. That's why I was preparing myself to drive south to forged if needed. Didn't think your generic tire shop would do but figured I'd ask.
