Default Suspension techs in Chicago

New to the forum. Wondering if anyone in the forum know of a suspension shop that can install my B16 Damptronics? I live in Chicago. Thank you all for your input on this.

Talk to Fischer Motors in Barrington or Eurosport in Bennsenville. Maybe Chicago Performance & Tuning in the city. All good starting points.

Default Wizard Werks

Have any of my fellow Chicagoans had an experience with Wizard Werks in the city?

Went to wizard works to clear an air bag light. They couldn't do it. So I wouldn't trust them with a car heavy in electronics. Never went back. I use Joey at G Design and he has done proper work for me. He is track side at all PCA, VIP and LAPS events around IL, WI and IN all year doing track support for water cooled caymans, GT3s and Carreras. He's rebuilt air cooled cars too. Pretty much only works on Porsches but I know he has two Scud customers. I've not used the vendors recommended by LexVan but hear great things.

Just wanted to toss another option in for you.
