Local shop for Eibach spring install on a 2012 CTS-V?

Need to have my Eibach Pro-Kit installed and was wondering what would be the best local shop for the job? I'm located in South Jersey (in the Woodbury/Deptford area). TIA

If you have the time do it yourself. Rent a spring compressor tool, should not be hard since you own a 2012 car.

Out of curiosity, are they even compatible with the magnetic ride control? I know a year or so ago, d3 was the only company making that claim. And what effect, if any, do they have on the warranty for those "shocks"?

there wouldnt be a warranty left on the shocks/struts if you change the springs out.

I also highly doubt a built race car is using off the shelf spring kits. They might be made by the same company but they are probally custom designed and I highly doublt progressive.

Just want to lower the car a bit- I don't need an aggressive drop, nor do I need an advanced coil-over system. I've used Eibach Pro kits on several of the cars I've owned and been happy each and every time.

Regarding the magnetic shocks- I presume it doesn't affect it (adversely) as there are a ton of guys running both these and the D3s.

I love how people question your purchase but nobody actually answers your question on where to get them installed. I recommend R/T Tuning in Lansdale, PA. They are a very good shop when it comes to alignment, suspension tuning, corner balancing, etc. etc.

Yes- R/T is great. Erik and crew took care of me when I had an issue with my Mazdaspeed. I might go back to them- they are just a bit of a hike for me.

Btw, thank you. I have no idea how this turned into a "trash eibach springs" thread.

I drove 3 hrs to get a tune. Plenty of tuners closer in Philly but I'd rather drive farther knowing it's getting done right than take a chance on someone else just because they're closer. I'll be hitting them up for an alignment and corner balance soon. How anyone can trash Eibach i dunno. Few aftermarket companies R&D and manufacture in-house anymore.

F.C Kerbeck is 15 minutes from Woodbury. Holman add another 5-10 minutes. Could be done at either place.

Eibach makes racing springs as well as street off the shelf springs, whether or not they are custom race-spring, I will have to look next season.

nobody is trashing Eibach...theres just somethings that work better with certain vehicles and somethings that dont...thats all. if the OP is happy with them than thats all the matters. is it possible to have a simple conversation without someone getting butthurt?!?!
