Default south bay shop to lower C7

I'm looking for some recommendations on a shop that will lower my 2014 C7 on its stock bolts. I know people out there have done it on there own but I feel much more at ease having it done by someone experienced. I'm looking for something down in the south bay. Any direction would be great.

Thanks!

Pretty much any shop that works on C5s or C6s should be able to work on C7 suspension.

Synergy, Borelli, Abel, etc.

Dealer quoted me 4 hours of work, $500 to lower the car. Insisted I get an alignment, which i kind of understand..

Anyone in the livermore, concord, central valley area? Trying to find someone to lower ours...

Edge Motorworks in Dublin

They align and do corner weighting on my Z06.
BMW shop but work on a lot of track/race cars.

Do it yourself - don't waste the coin. Simple to do... Took me all of 30 minutes or so on the wife's C7, and the 1/2 or 3/4 of an inch isn't going to affect the alignment. None of them are adjusted the same anyway.

Been there done that.

Op wanted South Bay input.

Lots of good choices around the greater Bay area as listed.

I must agree about the alignment - as it is the alignment from the factory isn't the best......

My 2009 Z06 (now sold), the factory alignment was HORRIBLE:


This car had just over 500 miles on it when it was aligned.
