    Hey guys, is there a good Audi/VW performance shop in the Fort Lauderdale/Miami area? I just need to get some suspension work done
    I've moved on from Audi to more fun, more lightweight, and more reliable products. These vehicles are so unreliable that I have been able to purchase 3 other cars in just the 6 months I have been without an Audi, due to savings alone. Other than the interiors, it won't be missed. Make a product that can hang with a spec miata in the corners, while not breaking every day past 50k miles,then look me up. Until then, you and your wack coilpacks and $37 dollar wipers can go right to hell.

    I had my suspension done at Absolute Motoring in Miami for very cheap and they were fast as well. Get the lube ready if you call Champion.

    What have you had done with us? Our Motorsport labor rate is $35 per hour cheaper than our Audi dealership. Most shops that install suspension cheaply don't do an alignment, which is often overlooked, but necessary.

    The main reason our customers like dealing with us is simple, we don't give you a hard time about warranty when we perform the modifications. And with Stasis products you have us install, Stasis will warranty your car for the life of the factory warranty 4yr/50k miles, no matter what dealership you go to.

    I actually never had any work done with you. I called for some work on my B6 but the person gave me a crazy price for install. This was a few years ago and I assume it was because I didn't buy the parts from them which I understand. I doubt many of us would trust a shop that would overlook an alignment after any suspension work

    It's good to know that Motorsport is part of the Audizine community.
    After my road trip I may be getting a set of the Stasis c/o's, can you PM me a price with install?

    In the past, because we do so much Porsche business I think they were pricing installs a little high.
    I assure you that our rates don't require lube
    I go by the same ALL DATA labor hours estimate that Stasis uses.
    Coilovers for example, are estimated at 4.7 hours, including alignment, so thats $470 for install.

    ^^I second that motion. Chris over at USP (ultimate sound and performance) in Coral Springs...you can't go wrong. Not saying he's the cheapest out there (he actually will work with you once you've got repor) but I guarantee you won't leave unhappy cuz of some shady work or suspect parts. Been with him for almost 2 years with my B6 and B7 A4's and no matter how much I try to buck the system it's just easier to go to him and let him take care of it.

    Actually just had my H&R's and RS4 sway installed 2 weeks ago (if you get springs/coilovers I really recomment RS4 sway at same time...unbelievable difference) and he was more than fair...actually cheaper than local Vdub shop that I go to. No alignment but that's not a big deal, he can recommend a reputable shop.

    (954)755-7772; Tell'em Jeff the firefighter sent ya.

    I've also had some things done by Chris at Ultimate Sound & Performance, and was very happy with it. I was also very impressed with the quality of the welds they did to install an O2 bung.

    Re: Good Audi Performance shop in South Fl?

    Yeah, I went to USP with my GTI. They were definitely knowledgeable, but a bit pricey and not the most friendly. There is also Autodreams just down the road, if you want a GIAC local dealer, otherwise I'd still recommend USP when things get technical.

    Champion is in that area too, but I haven't been there yet. I was quoted a hefty price for just a GIAC chip and exhaust, so I never went. This was a couple years back, so it's nice to see that you guys are getting competative Eric... You know, not everyone can afford a 996/997 or GT2/3

    In the Miami area (man, sometimes I feel like I'm the only one down here every time I start this statement), there's the following:

    OZ-Cars on 107th & 8th (near FIU) - the Owner's son used to have a sick S4, so the shop is pretty well equipped to work on VAG cars. They did my exhaust, and they also have an AWD dyno.

    German Motoring on 33rd ave & US-1 - I've gone to these guys a few times, and they're super friendly and willing to help. They did my c/o's and some VAGCOM'ing for me. Initially they can be a little pricey, but after you get to know them they become very reasonable. They also host some pretty cool GTG's at their shop, with really good turn-outs. LOTS of fast cars show up...

    Novitech on SW 136th St. - haven't been to them yet, but the Owner used to work for The Collection. It's nice to see some new tuners open up in town.

    Absolute Motoring 107th near 25th St. I went to them for my GIAC race file, but that's it. I just realized that they closed down. It was a shame, cause the Owner was pretty cool. At least I got a T-shirt!!

    Anyways, hope that helps.
