VQinside · 11-09-2010, 02:01 PM

What seemed pricey....have you visited our facility yet? Our parts prices are pretty darn competitive, and we will price match. Unfortunately we sometimes have to put a minimum advertised price on our website to keep our vendors happen....so always call for best prices. We know the 370Z inside and out as well, having done forced induction and full race car builds on them in the past year or so. Give us a shout!

I called you guys for an estimate on stud replacement spacers install and it was 4 times the price I got from my shop guy. I know you guys are the experts on this but its only spacers, I would do it myself it I had the tools and patience.

Nobody was quoted 4 hrs labor for bolt on stud replacement spacers. In most cases, spacers that have built in studs are not even charged shop time as we are usually doing other things with the car that require a lift and wheels off.

I don't recognize your screename, but if you want to PM me your real name, and I will check with my staff and see if they put together an estimate or have some notes in the system.

If you were quoted multiple hours like that, perhaps it was pro style studs that require the removal of the OEM studs, and the longer studs are draw through the hub. Depending on the length of the stud, removal of the hub is also required. Most spacers, like Eibach and H&R come in both version. Ones with the studs built in, and one where the studs are separate.

We try to be as competitive as possible with pricing, and to distinguish ourselves with high levels of customer service and expertise. Apples to apples, you're going to find a great overall value here. I can't tell you how many of our customers have my personal cell phone, and have texted or called me on Sunday at 9pm with a question...and I reply right away. I've come in on Sunday by myself and physically opened the shop to help someone need. We never stop over here, if someone has a question or something they want to chat about.

Z1 and Forged have a good relationship, and like they said, check out both shops and you all can make a decision for yourselves.

Speaking of which, the monthly G/Z meet at Perimeter is this Sunday at 3pm. If anyone wants to meet up, we'll be at the shop at 2:00pm for staging.

In all competitive fairness... I invite you visit both of our shops. Spend a few Saturaday's and come out to the shops and check each of us out.

After that, speak with some other Atlanta 370z owners and get their opinions.

I encourage you to post up your review's of both shops after your visits. List pro's & con's so other customers will have an unbiased opinion for future reference.

We are here Monday thru Saturday 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

On a side note, if you do not mind me asking, what part of Atlanta are you in?

I'm in Dunwoody area, just a few exits north of midtown on 400.
I saw your shop like 2 years ago while driving around that area.
I will definetely check you guys out soon.

VQinside · 11-19-2010, 11:16 PM

thanks for all the feedback guys, this is great.

aadosx · 11-18-2010, 07:26 PM

Must say that I've heard some bad things about Forged and nothing but good things about Z1. However I have no personal experience with Forged so that's just hearsay. I have dealt with Z1 though and have nothing but good experiences!! Great guys and they put on great events which strengthen the community!

That being said, Forged seems to have some very baller projects and I've never seen anything like that at Z1. FWIW..

Just my two cents.

daisuke149 · 11-19-2010, 10:11 AM

havnt been to forged, but been to z1 alot. The guys at z1 are great guys, the people who work on it take care of your stuff. Fun guys too, and honestly their prices are from what ive seen better than almost any other place (not just in GA)

Its def worth a trip there to check em out.

Z1804 · 11-19-2010, 01:31 PM

I've only been to Forged once and they were closed. So, I cannot really speak on their price and service.

As for Z1 it's a great place to take your car. All of the guys there are passionate about what they. Take the time to assist you with what you want and inform you about what is best for your car. They allow you to be in the shop and see the work that they're doing in your car, which to me is important anyway. As far as pricing, they have the best prices of any place that I've been.

As John stated earlier, to just take the words of the people on this forum. Go to the different shops and evaluate them for yourself. At the end of your evaluation go with whomever you trust.

Good luck!
