Any recommended suspension installers in Columbus?

I'm coming back to Columbus next week, and I was wondering if anybody recommends any local suspension installers. I picked up a set Koni Yellows plus some NM springs and I'm itchin' to have them installed while in town.

I love Northend Wrench - I've been going there for over twenty years. I know them well and they'll do modifications on weekends for me but this is not available to someone new. That means you'll be paying the normal shop rate. An alternative is Rick Knudsen (614-759-1973). He is a former Mini owner and has a shop in his garage. He installed the Konis on my Mini. A number of guys have used him. Good luck.

Another recommendation for Northend Wrench. They installed Koni's and performed an alignment on my Mini this week. Great guys.

Alas I reversed my decision to lower. I went with the Koni FSDs instead. I gotta say they are very nice. Well that and I think my OEM shocks were getting long in the tooth.

Glad to hear you are liking the FSD's. Andy has them on his R53 & speaks highly of them. I was thinking of going with a set, but I have another near new set of oem dampers in the garage.
