Hey I live in Iowa and I'm looking for a performance shop in the midwest area I can take my car to have some work done. Anyone know of any?

Raycl, I'm looking to find some places to install some performance parts in my 07 si. I want to get some new coilovers installed, exhaust work done, supercharger, maybe swapping out some of the core engine components...know of any places that can do this kind of work in iowa or nearby?

CAn't think of the name of the place, it's in the same place as the Lubeplace, almost looks like they are the same place. I would have done it myself, but I don't have a lift and I'm not going to do it on the floor.
That place charged me an hour labor if I'm not mistaken. I'd find someplace else, I can't put the reason here but if you the real reason I'd have to tell you in person. (I do warranty adjusting, and I've delt with the manager of that place after the header install and he probably doesn't like me) so if you use them LOL, don't mention me
