Default Where to get LSD installed in Connecticut

Well I am planning on buying a 2008 tc after totaling my 2006. I want to get the LSD installed by the dealership in New London, but they dont do any transmission work there. So if I buy it from trdsparks.com and get the shim kit that is $132.00 from that website what else will I need. Also is their any dealership in Connecticut that anyone knows of that will perform this install so it will be warrantied?

I live in colchester (aint going to that one) and i work in new london. I did have great experience before when I bought my first scion. But they dont do any tranny work and told me I have to call scion headquarters about the LSD cause they didnt know anything about it. One guy tried to tell me it all ready came in the scions... I laughed at him, stole his computer and proved him wrong.

Go to Swift Motorsports in Norwich... they do all my work and they do the best work unless you are willing to make the trip to Excellerate in Branford where it will be a little bit cheaper but same quality.

They use to steal all un-used parts and then sell them to make a profit. They always jack up prices. If its not a subaru then they dont like working on it.

well they tune my car and have done a kick ___ job at doing that... their prices are pretty high tho... never had me steal my stuff tho.

Hit up Excellerate... Josh is a really good guy and has done the majority of the installs on my tC so he is quite familiar with em.

Ya I have been looking at their website, seems really legit. For installs I will see what excellerate can do and for tuning I might go to swift.

for dealer installs call up Colonial Toyota in milford... only dealership that touches my car because Rashard is pretty knowledgeable. Other than that, Hoffman Toyota is good and I believe Stu (LastLookCustoms) works there (not as a tech though).

I have been dealing with Charles Toyota in Norwich. I found out I know a bunch of people that work there so I know they would take care of my car. I will see what they can do. If they are not capable of it I will definitely check out your recommendation!
