Just get it shipped to your house, or parents house if you live in an apartment. It will be cheaper than buying a swap from a shop.

Haven't found a good local shop yet, but then again I mostly do my own wrenching.

I know one to stay away from. Garage Kwai. The owner knows what he's doing, and you can get a good vibe by talking to him. But he normally spends his time in the front minding the store while the crew in the back does the work. And those jackasses will gladly put low-rate rear springs on the front and high-rate front springs on the rear, then set the perches high & low (respectively) so the car sits level. The word "moron" doesn't do that bunch justice.

I heard that One6 was formed when a group got fed up and left Kwai to form their own shop. I haven't dealt with them. You can literally stand at Kwai's entrance and throw stones at One6's entrance, they're less than half a block apart.

Alot of people have had alot of problems with them lately with bolts falling of cars and motors not being properly build. In my eyes there good for if a tail light bulb goes out or a head light. I think i'll try out Factory 5.
Thanks for the help so far guys.
Oh yea how far is King motorsports from chicago

I have a guy that tunes around me that is a local. He does great work and his street tunes are very well priced. He knows his cars and his brother was on this site with a yellow type r. If you would like his info pm me.


One six is a joke the *** toook 200$ from me for not doing anything. Mark is a nice guy and all but i dono.

My buddy had the whip factory tune his rsx with k pro and it went pretty well but of course he walked out with a large bill from that.
