Any good shops out there.....

....that is very reliable, does a good job of installing springs and won't charge an arm & a leg for labor?

I recently purchased a set of Tanabe springs (http://www.tanabe-usa.com/springs/gf210.asp) and an intake kit (http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...=69-6030-1TFK). I should be getting them by next week. Hoping I can find a shop that I can have the springs installed. (I'll be installing the intake kit myself.)

Thanks.

I used Speedware when I had mine done they did a nice job and can give you a good street performance alignment as well. I would recommend getting shocks done at the same time to save you some money on labor. Basically they have to pull them out together and then swap out the springs so it's the same price to do them all at once or pay for the labor all over again to do the shocks later.

I've got the spring compressors, if you want to do it yourself (I'll even help, schedule permitting). I agree on the shocks. The konis are great, and I love being able to make small adjustments to get the balance right for the road conditions and kind of driving I do.

I also went to speedware motorsports as well in Redmond. They installed my Tein Basic coilovers, did an alignment and my corner balancing. How are the RB springs treating you Kris?

I'm loving them. I think you'd have been happier if you had the Koni's with them. I'm glad you didn't

I'm not sure whether I like speedware's alignment, but I'm living with it 'till I get new rubber.

Hey thanks, guys. I'll definitely check out Speedware.

I was actually thinking of grabbing the MazdaSpeed intake kit, but for the price I'm paying for that I decided to grab the K&N Typhoon Short Ram intake kit instead. And with the extra money I saved I was able to purchase the Tanabe GF210 springs too.
