Where to get suspension pieces installed

Hi guys,

I'm going to have some springs and such installed in my car. Where would be the best place in So Cal to get this done? Yes, I know most of you probably do this yourself over a few hours and everything, but I don't have a real garage or much less tools to get it done? Plus I would rather pay some money and avoid the hassle all together.

I'm mostly around Torrance, Long Beach, or Monterey Park. What good, clean, honest shop can you recommend?

I did my springs myself. Actually me and a friend. I'll help you for much cheaper than a shop. The thing is you have to go get the car aligned yourself. I have spring compressors as well.

Yeah, but I'm wary of that place. I went with a couple of friends there because they wanted their EVO and ZR-1 dyno'd. I was watching their tech, he was installing sway bars for someone else, first holds it up the the car _backwards_ before his boss comes out and shows him how to bolt it correctly.

Later, when they were getting the cars dyno'd he unbolts the valve covers to plug in the wires he leaves the bolts on top of the motor. Great place to leave them when the car will go up to redline.

That's the kind of person I *don't* want messing around with my car.
