I made the mistake of having them put my kw's in. They were put in fine(thank god), but the guys there are idiots. Luckly I found a much higher class shop that has a British guy that builds high output motors for Porsches, 350zs, etc... Everytime I go I feel like I'm talking with the guy from the Top gear show, 370(Zed), lol oh and they charge about $90-$100 an hour, gotta pay to play

I'm sure most of us have gotten shafted at some point. You can still feel good about yourself as long as you dont let it happen twice.

Yeah I paid $200 for a spring install. At a shop that builds race cars... I wouldn't trust the kid at any Midas to lay hands on my baby. Yikes
