Performance shops in NY/NJ/CT area?

I did a quick search and found some posts on bodyshops for this area but i am interested in getting a coilover setup for my car (KW or Bilstein) and i was wondering if anybody can recommend a performance shop that can do the job? Thanks

Rudtners can do it. Excellent shop and customer service. Does alignments too and his guy is super anal when it comes to those (he will be doing my own car, as it sits now its wayy too much toe in the rear)

Thanks for the recommendations. I called Redtners and Motor Works West. Will see what happens.

I thought alignments can't be done outside of BMW dealerships. Besides the alignment itself, can he caliber the steering wheel sensor angle to match the alignment? Let me know and pm me the cost.

A little update: DO NOT go to Motor Works West in NJ... when i talked to the guy there about coilovers first he tried to discourage me from doing it and then he straight up told me that this would be his FIRST BMW 335i that he worked on.
I'm having better luck with EDTNERS. Bill, the owner, is trying to find a supplier for BMW 335 PSS9 coilovers since his usual guy supplies him PSS9's for Porsche's and Audi's only. I will ask him about the alignment... i know that BMW does this whole thing with the headlight alignment too when doing a proper alignment. Incidently, Bill said he got 2-3 more requests for this kind of job today... i figured its probably because of this thread :-) He wanted me to send him a link to this forum...

LOL you mean Rudtners?

Someone had called the shop today asking about a rear swaybar install.

If your alignment isn't too crazy off, it will not throw the DSC and ABS lights on. I aligned my car and it didn't do it. If it does, I got a friend or two still the dealership that have a personal GT1 I can borrow for a bit and calibrate the steering angle sensor.

And in reference to the headlight alignment, that is BS. I don't think one person at my old job did that, unless they put a new headlight in the car.

I sent him a email about installing my rear sway bar which my mechanic didnt wannt do when he installed my front sway because the rear subframe needs to be dropped and he didnt have a lift. Still waiting for their response, i checked their site and couldnt find their address, that was another question in my email.

Check out Eurosport in Westfield. They did shocks/springs/alignment on my 330. Great work. The guy who owns the shop used to work for JMK in Springfield.

Alignments you'll have to confirm with the boss, but it generally runs around $200. This isn't your 'toe n go' alignment like I used to bang out at the dealers to make time...takes about 2 hours or so. We corner balance as well, but that is separatley charged, and I'm not clear on pricing with that..Monday I will ask him....we are going to be pretty tight next week, but I will see if he has a spot available.

And yes it is right down the block from the service dept..
