Spring installation in So Cal

Hey guys, I just got some springs for my 8. Where are some good places to get my springs installed and how much? Any info would be greatly appreciated. The best deal I can get right now is $125. Thanks!

If you have an offer to have it done for free, I would go with that. If you still need a shop, check with driftspeed.com. They should be able to handle it for less and are in Westminster.

i called mazdatrix long ago to have my eibachs installed. they quoted me $200. i found a place in the valley (where i used to live in Reseda) called 2k racing (2kracing.com). They did it $100 the first time. then i had teins installed again for $125. still pretty cheap in my opinion.

I went to a small mom-n-pop shop in East LA called "Ken's Delta Tire" and got new KYB shocks and struts on all four corners of my RX-7 for $250, parts, labor, and laser alignment included. I'm guessing the labor was about $25 per corner and shouldn't be different from installing springs.
