Competent suspension shop in SE Wisconsin?

I have one recommendation for West Bend Speed Shop already, but I was hoping for place closer to Milwaukee. I'm talking the installation of the whole enchilada ... struts, springs, sway bars, p-bar...etc. and alignment, of course.

Found referral to shop on Stangnet.com.

C and M Automotive Performance in Hubertus, Wisconsin. Marv sounds like a Mustang guru. Spoke with him today.

Thanks. I got a quote yesterday from my dealer for the installation of the Ford Racing M-FR3-MV6A package with panhard bar.

$960 with alignment!!!!!

For that much money I could buy a compressor, air-tools, impact sockets, a couple of floor jacks, stands and refrigerator for my garage to keep the beer cold until I finish!

My buddy suggested West Bend dyno also ask for Vince. He also said let them know Mike Haislet sent you.

it really isn't all that hard of a job to do on your own. A first timer should be able to do the shocks, struts and springs in around 4 hours. Add in the sway bars and panhard bar maybe another 2 hours or less. YOU CAN DO IT.
Get a lifetime alignment from firestone for around 100 bucks

Thanks for the tip.

I'm actually pretty mechanically capable plus I have all the tools and a location to do it. My dad is a retired auto body mechanic and still has a pretty well equipped garage. He restores vintage John Deere tractors now but has slowed down quite a bit after double knee replacement. 30 years of kneeling on concrete floors did him in.

After watching some videos, it doesn't look that hard. Free time to do it is the challenge. I may rope a buddy with the promise of a cache of Lakefront Brewery IPA's to give me a hand. Maybe a good time to install the Borla Tourings I had my eye on as well
