Dallas Shops for install

OK, I just got in my wheels and tires and PSS10 coilovers... now I need a shop for;

1) mount/balance tires/wheels
2) install suspension
3) set ride height
4) re-align front end
5) corner balance

any recommendations ? I'm in Parker, roughly east Allen.

Hans is the man, the price just got back down into the reasonable level. An appt with RUF is in the near future.

RUF is awesome, great service at a fair price. they also build some of the best custom P-cars around.

HiSide - what are you paying for the PSS10 install? I was quoted $982 for the install, corner balance and alignment by a specialty shop in the Chicago area. I'm curious how that compares.

Install, alignment and corner balance is $1069, which was about what I was planning on.

The previous quote was for $1900, that was the one that made me choke a little...

Thanks - Our numbers are pretty close, so seems reasonable.

+1 with RUF, great shop... I had my 4-wheel alignment done there for $140, very reasonable price and the results are great. These guys know what they are doing.
