I don't know if it is too far for you but there two here in orange county. GRC Performance and XMP (extreem mustang performance) both are okay but depending on how deep your pocket and your personality will decide which one you go to.

well im not saying price doesnt matter but as long as its competitive for the quality of work they do. ya i think JBA is down the road from where i work.

a guy from work said he didnt like JBA. of course he has a mythical 98 cobra ive never seen. first day i met him a friend mine introduced us. he tells me that need to get with him to get the right parts to make my car fast. lol....what a big head. any how im right between la and sd.

I have a friend that got the royal shaft from GRC. I spent a couple of weekends fixing a few of their screw-ups. I actually went to vist GRC's shop to see what they were like. There was my buddies Mustang with a bunch of his parts laying all over the interior. Oh his Mustang is a drop top. There was his nice leather seats with sharp, grease parts all over them.

Anyway that was his and my experience with GRC

Hey David!

I grew up in El Toro (not Lake Forest) I was one of the first through Serrano Jr High.

Is that whole Lake Forest/El Toro thing still happening down there?

Have you checked out our West Coast Service Shops links index yet. You can't go wrong with either Chicane, Swanson, Xtreme or Marlos Frame and Alignment. All four are excellent Mustang Shops that are known for their quality work.

here is a copy of a post about GRC:

also, you would never find me at GRC. even if i was dead, i would get up and walk out.

http://www.grcperformance.com/01Focuscams.asp near the bottom 'Kevin is aligning cams' with Vise Grips????

AND

http://www.grcperformance.com/1988GRCsubsinstall.asp
http://www.grcperformance.com/94cobra_grcsubs.asp http://www.grcperformance.com/image...ra_grcsubs4.jpg

note the finger lift for welding subframe connectors...PS the subframes are supposed to be installed with the car on a wheel hoist like an alignment rack so the frame/car won't flex during install.

Yea, its kinda sad, I thought I was great when I first bought my car and found out that there was a mustang shop near by, but they seem to just be out for the dollar. I stopped going there because everytime I would go in the guys would leave the front room because they didn't want to talk to me. I am one of those people thatwill go to a place and ask a bunch of questions then do some research and then go back and ask some more questions before I let someone work on my car or buy parts. So I have been going to extreem mustang performance lately, they seem a bit more friendly, at least for now.
