Default Good shop for suspension work

Anyone know a good place in the greater Houston area for me to get my coilovers installed? I'm not the type to DIY, so I'd rather pay a reputable shop to help me out. Prefer a shop that knows about Hondas.

Thanks!

Curt @ C&C's Northside Motors specializes in suspension and alignment work. He has 160 S2000 customers. He has also done suspension and alignment work for many Porsche racecars including a GT2, GT3 Carrera Cup Car, and a rare 1962 LeMans Winning Carrera 906.

I'm not affiliated with him, just a happy customer.

Back from the dead.
Any other shops anyone can recommend. I'm sure the above mentioned guys do good work, but not sure I want to drop 800 bucks for an install, wheel alignment, and tire mount/balance.
Maybe I'm just a cheap ass?

honestly those things above are necessary to do the job correctly. If you dont, your alignment will be jacked up= tire wear= more expenses.

but if you have to do it the other way, call up Carboy

You get what you pay for. I mean really.

Most shops will align the car until it is green. Curt will do it until it is mirrored on both sides. Huge differance in handling and the time it takes.

There is a reason that many of us use Curt's services.

Guess I may have to suck it up.Checked with the boss and she seems not to care so much.
Thanks for the input though.
