    Hi,

    I recently purchased a 2017 Tundra and live in NEO (just outside Cleveland on the east side). It needs a suspension overhaul to tighten it up (no lifting, but potentially to advise/install a Bilstein 6k kit and sway bars).

    Then, to service it. Much prefer excellent independents who know Tundras backwards and forwards than the dealer.

    TIA.

    I'm in NE Ohio as well. I take my truck to RP Motorwerks in Willoughby area. I have had fine experiences with Metro Toyota (the dealer I purchased from) though for warranty work.

    Okay, if your handle is any indication, I like your style. I have "because racecar" in the form of a 2005 BMW M3 Competition package (it's my garage queen). Yet another use for the Tundra that I hadn't considered...towing her (and the tires) to Mid Ohio :)

    Thanks....will check out RP.

    Nice! I just picked up a former SpecE30, working on putting a passenger seat in now to start working through NASA HPDE this season! The guys at RPMotorwerks are a great source of parts and knowledge for race cars too.

    Also would love to see pics of the M3! I fell in love with that chassis when I was a teen and my dad picked one up. Check out Koala Motorsport in Newbury for BMW stuff if you need it.

    Did you end up finding a place for suspension work? I’d like to find a place in the area as well to get a quote on installing an eibach coiler-over set up.
