Good suspension shop in Bay Area to install MPP coilovers?

[Vines]

Looking for recommendations as to who to trust in the South Bay to install these coilovers without breaking the bank, or anything else.

SonicMS in San Jose did a couple members here as well if you're willing to make the drive

San Jose isn't too far away from me, certainly worth it to deal with a crew that has been through this on a Tesla before.

MPP Coilovers will be a few months, and once they arrive I'll have them installed along with the lower control arm bushings, and camber arms.

Are they still around? They did my E90 like 12 years ago.

Nice guys, good rate, but long wait, so call ahead, I am thinking they are running 2-3 weeks out. I am going next week to realign my car

3rd The Driveway. Mention Bennet for a discount. They are the only one that I trust and go to. Mike has done 20+ coilovers or lowering spring install on Model 3 as well as all the MountainPass Performance arms and bushing. They will also align your car to any alignment spec you want. They torque all bolts to Tesla spec with proper torque wrench instead of using air gun or impact wrench to save time.

I had the same question as the OP. Thanks for posting it and thanks others for your responses.

Seems like MPP (and UP, etc) could have a list of recommended installers in various regions (like Tire Rack does).

I’ll check out SonicMS and The Driveway.

As far as I know, The Driveway is a recommended installer by MPP. You can verify with MPP.

i guess that’s where i’ll be going once I receive my MPP coilovers. Glad to hear they’ve done it many times and properly!

How much do they usually charge?

How much do they usually charge?

depends on the shop - usually between $1000 to $1400 for install and alignment. It’s about a day of work (what they say).

Coilover install should be much less. I would say $500-$700 with a normal alignment. With Corner balancing alignment it's closer to $1000.

that’s what i got as quotes. Those do include installation of rear camber arms and toes. Fyi - Griffin was the most expensive one.

 

[Dan Wang]

My quotes are from Unplugged Performance. $500 for a normal C/O installation (about 5 hours of labor).

Bay Area shops in general are more expensive compare to SoCal.

That can be said about almost everything in the Bay Area.
