Reputable porsche suspension specialist in Victoria/Vancouver Island?

Hi folks,

I have been thinking about getting lowering springs or even a complete coilover kit for my 997.2 without PASM. After doing some local search, I can't really find a shop that I can be sure to trust. I wondering if anybody from Victoria/Vancouver Island can recommend one? Your help is much appreciated.

Thank you,

You also need a top knot alignment shop that can corner balance the car after doing either of these. I did the lowering springs the first time (Ruf). This made the car to "bumpy" so had them taken out and went for Bilstein PSS 10's. What a great improvement.

ps I had Scan Auto in North Vancouver do this work. They are excellent with these cars.

Looks like I will need a trip to Vancouver if I want this done. How much would the cost of the installation be if you don't mind me asking?

Unfortunately I had other things done at the same time (upgraded the Brakes to the GT2 competition version) and even more so I can't differentiate the labour for the PSS 10's and the alignment.

Best to call James Daniels at Scan and find out. 604-980-4542. He's very knowledgable and helpful.
