Default good shops in the Raleigh area

I'm going to be needing a good shop in the immediate future for possible coilover install/alignment and probably a new clutch. I need advice on any good shops in the Raleigh area.

Come on people! I know you can make a recommendation for a fellow S2k owner?

Cary Car Care on:

Did a very good job with my full suspension, energy bushings, and strut/sway bars install job, at a very reasonable price I might add.

There's a guy I know that has his own shop near Hwy. 70 and Briar Creek. His name is James Gold and number 919-649-0166. I trust him with my car(used to have an Eclipse). He does everything from suspension to supercharger to turbos.

The total bill was a little over 500, a little high in my opinion but I don't have anything to judge it against. I was happy with the job they did so I didn't mind. They installed a set of the KW V3's. They had it done in, maybe 3 hours. Then they called me to come up there and let them know how I liked the height. I had them adjust it down some more and then the did an alignment. Since then, I've dropped it down some more, hit a big pothole, popped out a fender liner clip, and will be raising it back up. When I get it set where I want it I'll probably get them to do another alignment. I'd definitely recommend them though. The other recommendation I got was Happy Japs and they're right across the street from each other. Any affiliation that you know of?
