Default Orange County, CA places to get springs installed?

I would like to get H&R springs installed, do you have any recommendations on who could do it, and any estimate of how much it will cost minus alignment just for the install?

Or is it hard to do it yourself? I have done it on every other car, including E46 M3's, etc is it any different?

Thanks so much,

Robert

Call Darrin at West End Alignment in Gardena - he had quoted me an extremely fair price to install X74 on my former Targa (sold it before doing it), and he's very well thought of. Not that far from the OC.

(He does the alignment too.)

Robert,
I assume the 1100 includes the cost of the springs (what brand of springs are you putting on), if that is the case he is still about 200 too high. Shop around.
Had mine done with Eibachs and the cost was 900 including alignment. Course Orange county is higher than where I live. $200 will buy you some custom Lloyd floor mats.

No, that is INSTALL ONLY! Sounds high?! I think that sounds ridiculous. I already purchased the springs.

Robert,
That quote was for installation, alignment and corner balance.

Corner balance a car without coilovers? Laura, that quote was a joke, literally.
