Spring / Shock install in Dallas area? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hola peeps,

Anyone know of a place around Dallas where I can get Shocks / Springs installed? I'm at about 66k miles on the ss and 2 years of 100 mile commutes in Dallas Traffic has done a number on her. Last dealer checkup said front shocks were pretty bad, their cost to replace just the fronts with factory parts was almost comical

Thanks!

There are a few in the Dallas area that I would trust. LG performance, ADM performance, and white side customs. You may get the best deal with whiteside in mckinney with a set of BC coil overs. The other shops are good too, but I'm not sure what their affiliation if any to suspension parts they have. I think Whiteside has some sort of connection with BC.

Whiteside is gone, it is now ZAuto, and they can do the wrk you need done.....

I would do it myself before taking it to Whiteside.

I guess that would be true since they aren't around anymore.

Let me try this again. I would do it myself before letting Mike White touch my car.

FYI, I hear Whiteside in McKinney is gone.

I was just shooting from the hip. I do all of my work. I guess if white side was that bad then they deserved to close.

I think there is a shop in Addison called 21st century Motorsport. Check them out too.
