Looking for a good suspension shop

[550Joe]

As the title states I am looking for a recommendation on suspension shops in the South Bay (San Pedro, Torrance, Gardena and surrounding area) that is good with a Miata.

Thanks in advance

[racerzack]

i know you said south bay, but if you're willing to drive then there are two places i highly recommend. both give SOCALM discounts, too:

accurate alignment
971 n. batavia st, orange 92867
714-538-1916

fast freddies / rotary reliability and racing
2608 s. harbor blvd, santa ana 92704
714-839-8018

Thanks Zack I will look into both

West End Alignment
Address: 18008 S Vermont Ave, Gardena, CA 90248
Phone: [phone]

One of the best alignment shops anywhere. You'll have to call and make an appointment as they're usually booked at least a week in advance. Do a search for them and you'l come up with tons of recommendations. They also do suspension installs (they were working on some Konis for an RSX when I was there).

Thanks Floats

I found a place in Thousand Oaks that they let me sit in the car during the alignment, if you are interested let me know!
The name I think it was California Tire Co or something like that...

West End Alignment

You can set in car while the work is being done.

One man shop so the person that you talk to is also the person that turns the wrenches...



let him know how you drive the car and he will set it up for you or bring in a list of the settings you want and he will do as you wish..

Thanks, Mighty I am going to use West End Alignment for my 04 as soon as the Tein Basics come in. For My 90 I am going to use Accurate Alignment since it will save me some $$, besides the 90 is diven more relaxed than my 04.

I think West End Alignment charges $40 per axle

I got two RX 8 sway bars for the 2006 for sale in the classified section.

I too recomend AA and RR.

I ended up using West End Alignment to install a set of KYB AGX shocks with the stock springs plus an alignment on my '90. Darin did an outstanding job!!!! I actually have another appointment this Thursday for my '04 so that Darin can install a set of Tein Basics.

I will post an update next week on the "04.

how much did it cost for shocks installation and alignment?

Jason -
I paid $300.00 for the shock installation and alignment to the alignment specs I brought with me.

Fast Freddie's / Rotary Reliability was going to charge me $250 for installing shocks. It ended up being $300 since the Koni's were more work with some of the mods they require.
