Where do people go for quality suspension work around here? I'll have new shocks, springs, struts, and caster/camber plates that need to be installed sometime in the near future. I'm looking to have a shop do everything and align it all while it's in there. I thought about just having Dahl Ford do everything, but I'm open to suggestions.

Dahl would be the last place I would take my car.
I won't question why you don't do everything (but the alignment) yourself...its very easy work that you can do in the driveway w/o special tools. Hell, I did all of mine and I had to contend with the IRS to boot. Your live axle will be cake.
I had my car aligned by Lindquist (ask for Service Advisor Ken Reimers, 563-449-7352) and request that "Mike" do the work. Mike did my Cobra and the tire wear over the last 25,000 miles has been perfect. No small task when dealing with a lowered mustang running 315's on the rear!
BTW, if you haven't bought the c/c plates yet, get the 4-bolt Maximum Motorsports. Avoid the 3 bolt designs.

Mark:
I've been taking my cars to Dahl for a while, but the service advisors there don't seem to care about the customer. The only reason I even take my Mustang to Dahl is because I went there when I had my SVTF and just kept going after I got this car. It's not really a great place to go in my opinion.
Would you recommend Lindquist for anything service related?
Nick:
I may have you take you up on that. I would be willing to help out with the work, but it'd be nice to have some help.

Thats cool. You can PM cruchelow, Jamie and i have done some pretty extensive work on his GT. It it always nice to have my own car to show off as well. Done everything on it myself, Along with lowering and doing countless shocks and struts on Mustangs. Plus it helps to be  |

+ 1 trillion for nick.
On the alignment I would go to reynolds and have mike do it. That is all he does is alignments well he does other stuff but he is the guy they have do all of the align.

Its 79.99 at the Goodyear. We do good work and all. Thats for a full four wheel alignment. its like 59.something if its just the front thats off/out.
Nothing against any local shops but we will fix it if they cant get it right. I am sure some others have fixed some of ours.
I cant remember but its warrentied for something like 12,000 miles or something(don't quote me on it though).

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'm gonna keep it all in mind when I finally decide to order the suspension kit. I'm still brewing over what wheels to buy so it's still an if/when situation right now.
