Recommendations for coilover installation in ohio?

krawzdogg · 08-05-2011, 03:43 PM

I am currently in Dayton, OH. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for shops to install my coilovers with alignment and corner balancing. Also, what would a good price for everything be? Thanks

I got mine done from Turn in Concepts near cincy. They mostly speciallize on STi's and had some friends who reccomended them to me. They were awesome and their STi won the Redline Time Attack in 09 so they know a thing or two about suspension tuning. Also one of the owner's owns a 335i and has done some work on it so I felt comfortable leaving my 1er there. It cost me $300 bucks for a 3 hr install and alignment.

Why don't you roll down 70E to Hilliard, OH and have TC Kline hook you up?

krawzdogg · 08-05-2011, 08:08 PM

Ervgotti: I will have to give them a call because that seems like a very good price.

Miiipilot: I wish I could roll down to TC Kline, but I am assuming that would be expensive, especially with their coilovers.

Yeah look them up I was originally gonna go with TC Kline because most shops in this area were about 5 to 6 hundred for the install and alignment including TC. A couple of my buddies with STi's recommended me to TiC and after meeting with them and the price they quoted me you just couldn't beat them.

I have been looking for a 1 series owner who tracks their car in Dayton, Ohio. Do you track the car. I have a 2011 and have tracked the car a bunch of times and would like someone to bounce questions back and forth.

Sorry, I don't track my car. I am curious to know what setup you are running and how you like it though. Thanks

I currently am just using the OEM suspension but have installed adjustable camber plates. Did you have your suspension installed yet? It is a fairly straight forward install that I would bet you could do yourself and save the money. If you need help let me know. What year is you 1?

I will make sure to mention it, any recommendations for coilovers and setup, mostly street driving with the occasional track day. Thanks.

Erik is knowledgeable and friendly...I suggest you give him a call.

If you're looking for a shop to install something other than TC Kline suspension, in Columbus, Tom Hatem Automotive is a good choice.

From your OP, I thought you already had something and is looking for an installation and setup facility only.

I will need more information from you to make a recommendation - Such as the type of driving you will be doing, handling goals, other suspension mods, budget, etc.
