E55 AMG
Moving to San Diego CA, any good shops

I have a 172 crank pully and 550cc injectors I need to get installed when I move there aswell as my split cooling kit. Are there any good shops to install my parts who does good work and not crazy expensive

Parking lot, garage, or driveway?

If I even carry a sponge to my car someone on a golf cart pulls up and starts reciting the rules... ( at which point i usually just show them my wiener and walk away)


And no, there are no good shops in San Diego. It sucks too..

Any post to the contrary is -W R O N G- period.

275-30/19 245/35-19 They are Federal SS 595. Although the tire is inexpensive, it is absolutely the best tire I have had on this car or my last car, including many high dollar brands. LOVE these tires

Thanks for the info....I am struggling right now with tire selection for my 19" 9 & 10" wheels...

The Michelin Pilot Super Sport on tirerack are ~$1100 for (245/35/19 & 275/30/19)...The rears are $300 / tire - yikes. The new Hankook v12s are ~ $860...I'll have to see if I can find reviews of the Federal 595 (as well as retailers - I like to get my tires at Americas Tires).

The first thing I need to do though is raise my car a bit and try to dial out some of the negative camber (ughh) as I seem to destroy the inside of my tires in less than 10k miles.

My excuses, in order of thought are:

1) It was early. Sarcasm had not been enabled yet.
2) I was thinking of something else.
3) I was distracted
4) I was hungry
5) I was on the john and distracted
6) I was hungry
