Looking for springs locally

Ideally Im leaning towards Eibach, but Id be happy to listen to other suggestions. I'd like to find something in town. If they can install them and KYBs even better.

- Eibachs are good with stock shocks not bouncy...pretty stiff..

- H&R is alot lower compared to eibachs. Notice small amount of bounce

- Perrin has almost the same drop as H&R 15% stiffer during regular driving 30%+ during hard cornering.

- Tein S tech even drop. a bit more aggressive spring rate compared to stock.

[shameless plug] we have all these in stock including shocks brand new and can install [/shameless plug]

Maybe I should ask which springs would go best with KYBs and (at the same time) be the most girlfriend friendly.

I want to learn how to install these myself so maybe I should just bribe someone with a free ipod to give me a hand one weekend.
