Just bought a MS6 and am wondering if there are any shops in Vancouver that would do some suspension upgrades?

Hmm...I'm not sure if there are any that are specifically Mazda-oriented.

You can expect quality suspension upgrades from most garages, which you'll usually find a high concentration of around the local automalls (i.e. Richmond, Coquitlam, North Shore).

You can also goto Budget B&M, they provide pretty good service at a reasonably low price.

Over in Mazda3 land, we have a local (Richmond) mechanic that can do quality work, cheap.

He works out of a home garage, but is equipped to do a lot of work.

He has installed springs for probably 20+ members of the BCMazda3.com forums and has also installed a few sets of coilovers. Of course he can install most everything else too.

PM me for information if you are interested.

budget brakes & mufflers?
good quality? will they install for you if you bring springs over?
or all tire shops like OKtires are knowledgable about putting on springs etc

Lowering springs is a relatively easy DIY so most shops should be able to do them without a problem, pretty much.

Springs are an easy DIY, but it's also one of the more dangerous ones if you don't have the tools to compress the spring properly though.

My friend told me about some guy installing springs but didn't compress it properly and it shot off and went through a wall, haha. My friend wasn't sure if that was just a rumor or not.

 

[zmzm6]

but the shops that do alignment/tires should have spring compressors right?

 

[wing_woo]

I meant it more as a DIY warning. Shops should have the proper equipment if they are to do it.
