...any other reliable independent Porsche shops in DFW area that can do coil over swap?

Thank you.

Guy on Rennlist picked up a 997 from the DFW area 6 months to a year ago and was looking for good Indy recommendations. Seemed to find a really good one, but don't recall the name of the shop, but maybe you can find that thread.

Lots more activity in the Rennlist 997 forum than here.

 

Thank you for the reply...on second though might as well stick with RAC, they are pricey but their work is top notch.

 

Actually there are quite a few posts to the contrary about their work always being top notch - seems hit or miss. One I recall is that someone received their 997 back from a simple oil change with more than an extra 1/2 quart (may have been closer to an extra quart) of oil in it. As you know this can damage the AOS, foul plugs, etc.

 

That's interesting...thank you for sharing.

Last year took the 911 to their shop for B16 coilover swap, after few days went by they called to inform the install couldn't be done because few parts were missing (https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ing-parts.html). When pickup the car, there was a $290.00 charge for remove/reinstall one of the front strut. IMHO, shouldn't the parts be inventory prior to tear down, this was my main reason searching for another shop now that the parts has been ordered (finally).

There is Autoscope European carcare, maybe it's worth while to check them out.

 

Found the thread I was looking for.

Look like Mayo or Dallas Motorsports are better choices.

 

If you're not opposed to taking it to the dealer, then John Gladwill @ Porsche Plano is a solid Porsche tech. IIRC, he club races a Boxster, so I'd think he'd be a good resource for suspensions and setting them up. I recently had a simpler suspension job done by him - raising the ride height on mine (with a TechArt suspension), and he provided good info and advice.

 

Will do. Dealt with them before.

I think Bob was RAC's top suspension guy until he left.

Thank you.

 

I'm probably too late to help but I'd recommend Innovative Autosports in Carrollton and Texas Track Works in Fort Worth.

 

I agree Texas Track Works I know the owner and the shop is excellent.

 

Thanks for all the replies, very helpful.

 

Finally talk to John Gladwill @ Plano Porsche...the guy know his stuff. Kinda pricey but ya know what they said...you gets for what you paid for.

Probably will go see him next week...
