Just wanted to throw out a plug for the guys at Helix Minisports in Philadelphia, Pa.
I was out there last Friday for H&R springs, rear swaybar, and their Stage 1 brake kit. I'll post more detailed information on the install as soon as we get some decent weather, but suffice it to say that I am extremely pleased with the quality and the cost of the work Eric and Chris do.
This is where I'll be going for any future mods. I see a pulley and chip mod somewhere in the near future. Get ready, Eric.

Standard discalimers: I've got no affiliation with Helix. Just a very satisfied customer. :smile:

Morales - They'll install my parts too, right? Because I really owe Randy a lot. So if I can order the parts of Randy and have Helix install them that would be one heck of a deal!

Cheers to Helix13!! I got my clear tail lights from them and when I went to have the installation done, they were kind enough to install my chrome side markers and clear lenses, too. Eric came in early on a Saturday dyno day just to do this stuff for me. Then they took my picture with HARMINI and put it up on their website.

Many auto shops are not very woman-friendly. Eric and Chris answered all my questions eagerly, never making me feel like a dumb girl. I plan on using these guys for all my performance mods.

We are cuurently working on a finishing a spring / summer event calender and we will do a few dyno days. The spring is filling up fast with a few shows, track events, auto x , running a car in SCCA club racing and building a MCS for the One Lap of America for a client. We will iron out a few things and let you know some dates by the middle of next week.

blackdog,

If you are in the area, drop by the shop and say hello.
