    Looking to spend some money on an ECGS front and rear, re-gear to 4.56.
    Anyone have any experience with a shop they would recommend?
    Who should I stay away from?

    The rear I know would be cake, its the front I don't want to touch.

    Apreciated

    @ZUK is doing my regear and Locker as we speak. I'm the 4th person to name drop Zuk. Probably won't be the last either. Go with him, awesome guy. Quality work. Detailed progress pictures as he works on it.
