Santa Barbara...What's a good suspension shop?

[JHRide00]

Hey guys my front left shock (i think) is out and I was wondering what shop in Santa Barbara or Goleta would be good to take it to.

Thanks,
John

For a simple stock strut replacement? Anywhere will do..... and you can even do it yourself if you have access to air tools.

Yeah I guess I forgot to mention that I would be later wanting to put lower control arms and subframe connectors on.
Thanks

if you jsut need shocks installed go to Sears. although if you need LCAs and whatnot Superior Brake and Alignment is a really good shop for race type suspension work. Economy Muffler will install the subframe connectors for cheap. i think he charges like $20, i know Mystifi(kenne bell'd mystichrome) in town had his SFC's welded in there.

Hey thanks for the info.
I went to sears to see what was wrong with my car and why it was squeaking in the first place and those dumb@sses said that they had no clue. They said that it might be the strut or it might be something else and they told me to take it to the Ford dealership so that i can be raped by dealer prices.

DO NOT GO TO MEL CLAYTON FORD. if you have to go to a dealer, go to Perry Lincoln Mercury. Mel Clayton has some of the worst customer service in all of Ford Motor Company. plus the suspension guy at Perry is top notch.

Thanks Guys

I put in some Tokico HP's front and back and it really makes a night and day difference. I wish i could have afforded the Illuminas, but I saved money and i love them.
