Performance mechanic recommendations.

[Gorilla Boy]

I have recently purchased a bilstein b6 suspension kit for my '05 Saab 9-3 Aero and i dont want to get my local garage to fit them. As they are perfectly competent with standard jobs but id like to get my suspension set up properly.

Anybody have any recommendations for decent garages/mechanics?

Forgot to add, im near Preston so the closer to there the better

Suspension is suspension, the trick is finding the right garage to set up the geometry once it is bedded in

Im looking ideally for a garage that does both.

Not too local, but Demon-Tweeks have always been good to me, they do this kind of thing all the time. HTH

ABP in Crewe were pretty good on for me on my last car.

Also went to Prosport in stockport and they were pretty good as well.

Only a few minutes off the M65, quite handy for me too. I need to have a chat with him on Monday, I'll make sure he checks his emails

Blink Motorsport in Winsford could fit and set up your suspension. They even weighed me when setting up mine. Have been to them a few times and always received excellent service.

There was a kiwi bloke who was tallish with glasses and Oli. Oh and Brian the dog, gnawing on my arm as he thought my hat was a toy, lil bugger!

I didn't see this thread first time round, but I recommend Ollie at Phoenix as well. Been going there for years. In fact I saw you guys there on Saturday morning when I was dropping one of my cars off. It brought back memories of my old VX220. Nice little setup on the silver VX220, especially those little containers in the boot!

Dropping the black elise off?

Just picked my saab up after a full suspension upgrade and minor brake upgrade, fantastic job and not a bad price
