Our Shop

When you walk in the door at Suspension Performance in Mountain View, you know this is not your average car or motorcycle shop.

 

In addition to the normal complement of equipment, Suspension Performance features a special clean-room for rebuilding precision suspension components.
To top it off, a little extra decorating style throughout the shop provides a great environment to relax, read the latest enthusiast magazines or shop online for upgrades.

 
Our Toys
At last count, Eric owns 5 cars:
  • Slightly modified Mazda RX-8
  • Highly modified Porsche 944S Turbo
  • Land Rover Discovery
  • Dune buggy project
  • Suburban work truck
For variety, Eric occasionally borrows his girlfriend's Lotus Elise.
Eric is rumoured to own 15 or more motorcycles, but no one is quite sure, since they're never all stored in one place. His favorite street bike is a Triumph Sprint turned hooligan bike, and his favorite off-road bike is his 85cc TM.
