This is just my suggestion if you are going by Tone. He usually opens around 8:00 a.m. on a Saturday. Go there from around 7:00 a.m., buy a Guardian and Express from the parlour on the opposite side and kill the time reading the newspapers while you wait for the shop to open. Saturday is a very busy day there, and unless you reach early, sometimes you have a long wait before your car is worked on.

I reached 7am on the dot , workers reached 5 mins later. Checked me up and said it would take 2 days and i would have to leave my car Neutral

I not really ok with leaving my car by anyone , esp ppl i dont know. They do look professional though ....so i'll think it over if i dont find someone closer to home.

brr @ that two day option. You can try what dave suggested and do the rear first, then the front. They did my entire kit in 2-3hours (minus about 6bushings which i had already changed to metal pillowball) , but then the arms were already out and most of the bushings were pressed out already.

honestly boy Ice, I haven't decided on which Couva location I gonna use but for the minor work I would be performing myself and one of my options said we would do the entire suspension but me not wanting to spend all day and also monopolising mechs time said part and he said we will see how it goes.

I dropped the car off last night at a alignment/suspension shop @ munroe rd junction (by the highway) .....they look just like tones with the lift's and i saw they have a couple scoobies changing suspension as well,. The owner even has a FULL RACE(think tube chasis) 2nd gen rx7 with HUGE ASS SLICKS covered down ....looks like it was built to run low 8's or something but i never saw it at the track before Neutral


i drop my car by the place and forget the name of the place already Mad
they said i'll have it back by this evening and the cost would be $800 which is cheaper than tones

Got the car back this morning but it was finished since yesterday.

The improvement is 500% , i cannot stress this enough ...if you are serious about handling invest in this kit!
