Shine Racing Services... I'm pumped!

[ignitex at juno.com]

Yes, Shine's is great. Buddy of mine had some of his Fox racecar (yes a
verrry fast VW Fox  ;) built up there.  His suspension for VW's often
stirs up controversy in the VW forums because they're not slammed, but
after riding in a few friends cars that were outfitted with it, yeah it
sure as hell works, and he'll be glad to explain why.  Dick is a great
guy, and I highly recommend his shop. AFAIK they're usually pretty busy,
but it's worth the wait (if you have to). They know VW's and I'd be
confident that he's know Audi's almost as well. Plus, like you said,
visiting his shop is like candyland, there's all sorts of cool stuff
lurking in every corner. Good luck, and try to resist from complulsive
spending while you're up there, it's all too easy.
