Suspension installation and/alignemnt

clutchdj · 05-02-2016, 04:22 PM

Who has good or bad experience with suspension installation in the NY/NJ/CT region? I'm looking for a seasoned f8x shop carefully to put springs in and align the car.

Auto Couture Motoring, Fairlawn, NJ - DA BEST. Totally worth the drive if it's far from you.

clutchdj · 05-02-2016, 10:25 PM

I will look them up. Heard mixed reviews. Did they align your car too?

Elite Motors in Lodi. Sam is the owner. All state of the art equipment. Install, Alignment, Corner balancing. He is a Dinan Dealer and Authorized BMW repair center. He has done my M Roadster, rod bearings through full Dinan tune, Suspersprint full exhaust and KW V3 Coilover kit. I also had him put a KW V3 coilover kit on my Mini and he also just put an MPE on my M4. Highly recommend. PM for more details if you need any.

Petrol as well
Would choose any of these first

You've had experience with RCT? I live in Whitestone. Would be real convenient for me!!

I second ACM, in FairLawn, NJ. The place is very well run and everything is transparent, and you won't be disappointed with the quality of service and knowledge of the folks there.

ACM

Rogue engineering 20 Industrial Ave
Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458, one of the best and honest shops around.

Also heard good things about ACM

///F80M3 · 06-19-2016, 06:49 PM

RCT Performance best for suspension and alignment. They have two locations now college point and westbury. Great honest guys that take their time to do it right!!

danniexi · 06-20-2016, 11:04 AM

+1 for RCT, as i get my suspension and wheel work done by them. Ryan and James are knowledgeable guys who do really great work (very meticulous as well) and are extremely professional and courteous.

+2. i take all my cars there for suspension, wheels, alignment, and even some installs that i don't want to do myself like downpipes, etc.

SALES@RSW · 06-23-2016, 08:00 AM

Hey, clutchdj, where did you go to get the install and alignment done?

How did it come out?

clutchdj · 06-23-2016, 10:06 AM

I must say that I am quite pleased with the work done; nice and neat.

+3 for RCT Performance

nyc f82 · 07-07-2016, 10:27 AM

RCT is good for suspension work, went there a while back for alignment and install. ( cheaper then the rest)

ACM is good also( they installed my swift springs on my m4 a few weeks ago along with alignment)

Stay away from M Spec i called for a price for JUST a spring install, i was supplying the springs and they told me $1250 without alignment lol. Got a kick out of that one and hung up

Russell263 · 07-16-2016, 08:37 AM

Have to throw another recommendation out for ACM in Fair Lawn. They installed my JRZ coilovers, dialed in ride height, and alignment. They also helped with getting me set up with a set of spacers last minute to get me through the weekend at the track, and stayed late to get the car done for me on a Friday night.

Thanks for all of the love guys, appreciate it! There are a lot of great shops with talented technicians in the area that do awesome work, some of which we consider good friends.

Thanks Russell! The job isn't done until it's done

Your car is looking great, hope you had fun in the Poconos!
