You can take your coilover installs to Paul/Rotorsport if you'd like but I specialize specifically in Footwork tuning and I should have the most reasonable pricing available. Most shops don't include a second visit in their estimate for you to come back to reset the ride height once the springs have broken in. I do.....
The process and procedures we take you through in regards to optimizing the ride or performance of the coilovers is another incentive you have by letting me, Rishie, do your install. Plus you have got to know that I have done several 8's and i know every socket and nut needed to install these coilovers in an orderly fashion.
I'm convenient to schedule and can get alignments done. Sorry to threadjack i just figured this would be a good place to let you guys know that i'm doing Suspension and Tire Installs, Cash money yields the best deals you'll find. My mounter has road force balancing to boot.
I've determined that what I charge for coilover installs is about 25% less than any other shop and I can promise it will be setup correctly for your needs.
Here's a basic breakdown of a Cusco or Tein Flex Coilover for Example:
$300.00 for the Coilovers, already assembled with uppermounts
$100.00 for the Electronics install, does not include custom mounting of the controller.
$100.00 for 4 Wheel Laser Alignment
Grand total: $500.00 with controller, $400.00 without
I do my best to be $100.00 cheaper than most shops who don't have the experience I have with coilovers in general.
Wheels and Tire Mounting, (LOOSE ONLY):
17": $50.00 mounted and balanced
18": $60.00
19"-20": $80.00 mounted and balanced
Add $20.00 for reverse mount or SUPER EXPENSIVE wheels.
Thanks, Rishie

Yo!!! I might be getting my dent pulled today. I hope they can do it though, the guy said that because the doors are made of aluminum so he's not sure.

Hey Spinbreakz, I leave Santa Clara at 5:00pm to go home in Fremont. Your more than welcome to follow me home and chill at my spot for about 30 minutes before we go to the meet. I can fill you in on the festivities. 
Let me know. Pm me your # and I can give you a call. We are a good group of guys. No smack talk, well maybe a little LOL we just laugh at the fartpipes that rev by when we are hangin.

Because on stock rims they look WAYY more flush and clean, and they give a considerable amount of extra grip, and, it was a deal I couldn't pass up even at vulcantire.com, which is the cheapest place on the net to get Falkens, its 564 + 50 for shipping a set of 4

Bad luck, I got hit as well last night. Some little 16 year old Chinese girl in a Scion hit me sideways and fucked up both driver's side doors, my rear wheel, and my rear bumper.
