Default Can anyone recommend shops in the Philadelphia area?

I'm looking to do a few upgrades to the Z in the near future. Some of the things I'm planning on doing in order:

- Cat back exhaust and headers
- Leather interior upgrade (to the Burnt Orange)
- Limited slip diff (either Nismo or the ATS carbon lsd)
- twin plate ATS carbon clutch
- Stoptech brakes
- Supercharger bolt on

With the roads the way they are around here I will probably avoid suspension work for awhile. The car handles nicely as it is. I may look to do a Nismo S-tune susp setup in the future but most likely I will stick with the stock springs/shocks and simply look for someone to do a swaybar install. Depends how much understeer I get when I install my staggered rim setup next week.

So hopefully someone can recommend a good shop in the Philadelphia area that can do some of the above. I'd be looking for a performance shop to do some installs, and a good upholstery shop to do the Burnt Orange seat upgrade and perhaps upholster the door panels in leather like the Stillen SMZ, because I'm starting to get fed up with trying to clean the plastic.

I urge you to check out Precision Dyno Tuning in Moorestown, NJ right across the bridge.

876 Lenola Rd. Suite 7E
Moorestown, NJ 08057
Phone: (856) 866-0050

They also own a parts supplying company called AMZ Performance, give them a call and they will do everything in their power to get you a good price on parts/installation.

How long do you think it would take one of these shops to install a clutch/flywheel and LSD? I'd probably want to drive there in the morning and wait.

Huntingdon Valley is close to me, but JD's website looks like it is more of a mustang/domestic shop. Are there any other shops in this area? Driving an hour all the way to Freehold or Wilmington doesn't seem like it would work logistically.

Any good shops between Philadelphia and Allentown?
