I would like you to list the top three speed shops that you would recommend if you were getting work done or have gotten work done. I live in MD, and would be willing to drive a couple hundred miles and would also would consider shipping the car via closed transport. Please no bashing on the forum, if you would like to send me a PM if you had a bad experience I would appreciate it. Thanks!

+1 for Fran and RPM in Delaware. There is a reason why I drive from North Jersey to their shop. I've dealt with a few of the "big name" shops and the customer service of RPM is A+

Agreed!

I'm in Tx and we have performance shops around every corner. I shipped my car 1500+ miles (less expensive than you would think) to have them do the work!

ECS - Chris and Mike at ECS both have H/C cars themselves, so I'm sure they are more than familiar with the setup.

Thats the eventual plan for my car.

Good luck.
