Shop to install sub frame connectors near Seattle

Hi all. I recently moved to the Everett, WA area and I'm in need of a shop to install sub frame connectors. Cost isn't important, I just need to find a quality shop that will treat the car right. Anybody know one?

Nice to be in the northwest. Hope to meet some of you guys at some point. You guys seem to be a good crew. Here's a pic of the car by the way.



Thanks
John

You might get lucky by contacting an exhaust shop. Here in Bremerton, Kitsap Muffler would have done mine had I not had a couple of friends do them for me during a Cascade Crew gathering/cruise in Southern Oregon (they took up alot of space on the trip down there).

Another fellow that may help you out is in Poulsbo, across the Edmonds/Kingston ferry from you. He runs a 4X4 shop out of his home, Jantz Engineering, but will work on anything, he did some machine work for me and turned down a set of rotors into hubs for a C5 brake upgrade. www.jantz4x4.com

Thanks AmorgetRS.

Has anybody heard anything about these guys. I talked to them on the phone and they seem very knowledgeable. Plus they do a lot of very custom work. But are pricey.

Check out their Service and Custom Fabrication pages.

Re: Shop to install sub frame connectors near Seattle

I ended up going with the Spohn weld ins. I am having Speedware Motorsports do the work. And it will get done today! I'm pretty excited.

BTW they have a very cool shop with a bunch of projects going on. If you have a chance to go there, take it.

I sure hope they have a 4 post lift to install the SFCs. If they use a 2 point lift it's BBBAAADDDDD.

Re: Shop to install sub frame connectors near Seattle

I got a set of Cee Weld on for my Iroc & I got told to haul the car up to Monroe lol. (4hrs away) but the guy that is doing that is also hand building all of my other connectors for my car.

Good to hear. I've seen some very good shops do some very stupid things before

Re: Shop to install sub frame connectors near Seattle

I installed mine in my garage, what a pain in the a$$. If you need any other work done, try The Carb Connection in Totem Lake. They seem to be a decent shop that works on everything from Muscle cars to late model Ferraris.

If you are a do-it -your-selfer, and need a lift, let me know. I have access to a decent shop and lift, just need to schedule it.

BTW, nice looking car. Sounds like you are new to the area, where are you from?
