Getting SFC's installed in Houston, TX?

Does anyone know of a good suspension/chassis shop around Houston, TX? I want to get these things in perfectly. I have heard that a chassis shop would be the best because they will have the tools and equipment to make my chassis straight before they get put on. Thanks guys!

if you can find a good body shop, they should be able to weld them on good and straight.. you are getting weld-in right? Personally I wouldn't count on anything that only bolts on for major chassis stabilization in any long term application. Strut-tower brace, but if I could say I would NEVER have to pull an engine out of a car, I'd weld that in too.

in any case, a lot of good body shops have chassis-liners, or their bodyworkers know enough to get things straight. you would be looking at quite a lot of money to get your chassis straightened and SFC's installed, I would just go w/ the SFC install, but get someone that can do good structural welding to do it.

P.S Out here in Katy, i know David at Kiwi Auto Body has welded SFC's for a guys Mustang, they don't have a chassis-liner anymore though. You might try a Mike's Muffler, the guy at the one next to Texan Ford is an excellent welder.

I bought some SSM connectors last year and haven't got around to installing them. I just called Mike's muffler between Mason & Fry on I-10 and they said they charge $75 to install and possibly as low as $50 depending on the difficulty. I've had really good luck with the guys at Mike's muffler when I have had other work done on my car. I'll probably take it by some time next week and have them installed.
