    Hello, just wondering if any one knows of any good shops to take my S4 for a big brake install, lowering spring, and sway bar. I live in Waco and I wouldn't mind driving to Austin, Dallas, San Antonio.

    Brink Motorsports in Austin is a great shop, they specialize in Audi/VW and the owner is super chill.

    For performance upgrades I like Zinkwerks in Euless. They should be able to do the work while you wait. I had my AWE Touring and res DP's installed for $160 compared to quotes up to $1000 from other local shops. Took them about 2 hrs.

    When I did my rotors & pads replacement, I got quotes from Blair Automotive in North Dallas, Zinkwerks in Euless (by DFW airport) and Brink Motorsports in Austin and the cheapest was Zinkwerks in Euless. Blair Automotive and Zinkwerks are both highly recommended in DFW area, however I find zinkwerks to be more reasonable on prices. You can't go wrong with any of those three.

    It was Blair Automotive (AWE dealer) who wanted $1K for the install. Total ripoff.

    I can also recommend http://texastrackworks.com
    They're in South Fort Worth I've used them in the past and worth calling for a quote.

    In my experience, Blair is expensive however the service is good. I purchased my parts (rotors & pads) and just wanted someone to install it. Here is the breakdown I got, I don't remember exact but I will give you a ballpark, Blair was in the low 600s for labor and zinkwerks charged in $275.
