New - Some quick questions.

Hey,

I just bought a 99 C230 and am looking for a good shop in the Bay Area to take it to. One recommended was Auto Dynamik in SF. Has anyone been there, or know anything about it?

I will also be looking to do some mods soon and plan to start with clear corners. Where is the best place to get these? I know ebay is the cheapest by far, but is the quality any good for anyone who has bought them?

Will post some pictures soon.

I wish I knew about this forum before I bought my corners on Ebay... Oh well, I put them on anyway... while I wait for the Bosch corners I ordered from Bekkers.

Henry thanks for all the advice regarding the wheel, springs, shocks, fender rolling, pads, etc!!!! After MUCH thought, I decided to pass on the 19's for now, and try 18 x 8.5's first. So you get to keep your title of 19" Rim King!

any info about shops though...
two more were recommended by good buddies: Four Star Automotive in SSF and Pacifica Tire and Service Center. Anything about these, as well as, Auto Dynamik would be most helpful.

J- There is Streetwize in Mountain View (I think). They used to be in fremont. Plus there should be some decent shops up in sac. I have family down there... and in roseville, and rocklin. Go kings!!!
