Default Mustang shop in SF Bay Area?

I'm looking for a quality Mustang shop in the SF Bay Area, preferably North. Interested in suspension and gears. Any ideas?

I'm having Nextgen Autosport in Hayward install my gears in a week. I did some research and they seemed to check out OK. Their # is 510-538-8088. Give them a call.

Thanks Thrash. I'll be curious to hear how your gears turn out. Did you put your springs in yourself, or have them done?

jpo06gt, I found a local guy (Fremont) to install my suspension. The shop is called SWAT Customs. It's a one-man operation. The guy's name is George. I spent 15-20 minutes talking to him about suspensions in which he convinced me that he knew what he was doing.

Any of you heard of TPS motorsports? http://tpsmotorsports.com

I'm also interested to know how Nextgen Autosport will treat you with your gear install Thrashard340.

Dont go to swat customs! I had them install rims and tires in my other car and i have the them new tps sensors and bands to wrap them. The 3 days later they came lose, and when i go to buy to new tires several months later i found out they used zipties to install the tpms instead of the tire bands, which i gave them! Also i had them install gears, and had horrible gear whine afterwards. For a gear install i would go to rear end specialties. Thats where i got them installed in this car.

Oh ya and, i told them i would pick up the tires and rims in a few days because i couldnt fit them all in my mustang, and then they say that somebody stole them. Trust me dont go there, the shop is full of pieces of ****.

Wow. I wish I would've known. I only had the guy do my suspension and not gears because it only seemed like he knew about suspensions. That's why I'm having my gears done at NextGen.
