shops to lower my GE in Socal?

hey guys,

i have eibach pro-kit. any suggestions for a shop to take care of my installation? I don't have the time to do it...and i was reading the "DIY: Lower your fit" and it seems complicated as heck. i dont want to risk in messing anything up.

i live in the san gabriel area (626). any reputable shops that won't cost me a fortune? thanks!

*prefer a shop that has experiences with fits.

you can ask note do install them for you, he doesnt charge as much as the shops do and he knows what hes doing.

its not that hard, unless you literally have no experience then i suggest you go with someone/shop.

i basically did it myself but at my friends house cause he has a bunch of tools (impact gun makes everything so much easier!)

front is probably the "hardest" and the rears are really simple

don't wait weeks to get an alignment unless you do want chewed up tires before your alignment. just go for a drive and the springs are "settled." i usually just get an alignment a day or 2 after the installation, whenever i get a chance to go to the shop.

lol, if you want your springs to sag before your alignment then wait several years.
