Seems like they've been at it for quite awhile with Mustangs.
Any opinion regarding suspension work with these guys?

Everything I have gotten done has been great. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Mike really knows how to make the Mustang suspension work.

definitely a stand up guy and will go the lenght to make sure you're taken care of even if shit doesn't always go perfect.
loves to explain shit and show you his projects and things goin on around the shop, definitely one of the coolest dudes in the business.

[/QUOTE]I know Mike uses Maximum Motorsports parts for a lot of suspension builds he does, but the car in that ad is not Mikes car. [/QB][/QUOTE]
The yellow car in the maximum ad is mikes car. I have my coupe over there right now getting the full maximum treatment. Mike is a great guy, and he has done work on a couple of my mustangs. I would recommend that anyone in the bay go to maier before they go to apex.

Unless it's a different ad than I have seen, the Yellow #91 Fox in the MM ads is the MM shop American Iron race car.
Also, Bill Maier (Mike's Dad??) raced Trans-Am back in the old days. One of my friends now has his 1968 coupe that he raced.
The blue car. Of interest is the silver car in the background is Jay Bittle from JBA. [ July 23, 2006, 06:18 PM: Message edited by: racercosmo ]

i used to work at apex, ive seen the good bad and ugly i cant explain what or why cause i dont want anymore drama and dealings with the owner.
all i can say is that mike maier is very knowledgeable and does excellent work. the times that i have done any thing with him or bill maier i have never had any issues. i have seen many things that he has built and modified. the work is more involved and not limited, a few of the local mustang only shops(not all) are limited b/c they dont have the specialty equiptment that he does. ive also delt with griggs racing and seen their stuff and i can say the same for them that i can say for maier. both real good suspension shops and have many years of true mustang hands on. to sum it all up look at the records of happy customer testimonials and how the owner runs the company. youll get a good feeling where your more comfortable and you will always get what you pay for.
