High performance shops in the Bay Area??
Can anyone recommend shops in the Bay area that specialize in high performance tuning for benzes?
Superchargeing, suspension tuning, etc.
Something similar to Evosport?
Thanks

C320
I have an '01 C320. What do you guys have for my car?
I just installed H&R coil-overs. Will be looking for some sway bars, brakes, and someone who does corner weighting. Might get a supercharger as well.
Do you have a brochure of all performance products for my car? Which shops do you work w/ here?

I'm looking to install springs and sway-bar. and Do they install Kleemann products too? So how does it work? I have to place an order from you and install from there? Are they charging the same labor rate as Evosport?

Kleemann Superchargers have to be installed at an authorized Kleemann dealer. If you place an order from us, we can ship the products directly to either shop for you. The shops are located in Mountain View and Pleasanton. We also have customers who have their cars transported to us for about $350.

I live 5 miles to mountain view where is the shop located?
the reason I try to avoid Conversion Techniques (Kleemann autorized dealer) is they sound very dishonest when quoting labor charge. Once they quoted $500 labor just to install 2002 C230 Pulley which only take an average mechanics 1-1.5 hour.
Assume $100/hr which it ends up $100-$150 which $500 is too far off.

and also I trust the Kleemann products so thats why I am planning to install Kleemann Spring instead of the much cheaper $350 ASP pulley. However how outrageous the Kleemann charges for labor put me off to install from them, that's why I was asking about Evosport which has good reputation and friendly in answering questions
I'm also interested in the $3000 supercharger replacement for the C230 but if they charge $1000 to install i dont think I'd like to go there, I rather talk to Evosport.
Can Kleemann add more dealers in the Bay Area specially on the West Bay Peninsula or South Bay of San Francisco?

We try to carry, or have access to, every product on the market (and some off the market). I would recommend having a body kit installed at a body shop. They are the experts, and have the ability to do the best jobs. At the least, it will have to go to one to be painted.
GAB,
