Best shop in NY, NJ, CT for car setup
I am looking for the top shop or two in the tristate area for making suspension setup recommendations, and possible install on a street/track car.
I will likely install coilovers myself, but am interested in also having some other suspension parts installed, mainly some or all of the SPL parts, and just need recommendations for what's needed, and how to set it all up and adjust it all to have the most stable car on track. There isn't a place local to me who I would trust to do this so I'd like your recommendations on where to go. Bimmerworld recommended Auto Technic in CT, but after researching, this does not look like their focus. |

Autocouture Motoring in Fair Lawn NJ will set you straight. Well known on the forums, top notch reputation, and wonderful shop full of cool cars. Went there to get some corded tires swapped and fitment dialed in on a moment's notice and they were prompt, helpful, and nice. They have an online shop for parts, awesome techs, and can do alignment.

Agree with ACM in Fairlawn NJ, Jeff and Matt have always been great to work with. If you look through the track forum there are at least 2 heavily modified e92 M3s that I have seen getting worked on there.
They do have an online shop too, which is great, but I would suggest giving them a call or shooting them an email first.

I don't even live remotely nearby and can also say Autocouture seems to be the go-to place for many.

Don't know if you settled on a place but thought I would put in a word for Auto Technic. Predominantly, they focus on selling used cars and general mechanics. But they also have a separate location that is setup to support their cars in the TCR racing series. They know how to setup a car and take their time until you are happy - I have been going there for corner balancing and alignment every spring for years. Give them a call and ask for Rob. Again, none of the other places mentioned here have experience supporting a professional level racing series.

Went with Auto Couture in the end. Very communicative and the install is almost complete. |
