Shock/Spring installations in Los Angeles
Can anyone recommend a place to have suspension work (shocks/springs) done in the Los Angeles area? I've been quoted ~$300 for installation + alignment, but was hoping I could do better (seems high). For those outside LA, what have you paid to have similar work completed?

d2technik in San Gabriel quoted me $150 for the cup kit, Wheel House in Walnut is another place i know. Mmgrad can help you also, he's local and knows a handfull of places...If your close to the Inland Empire, I'm going to go get my cupkit installed through an old friend i came across, who has his own shop in Chino. His prices are good and he does excellent work, he just did my truck lift, and my brothers airbags.

paid $120-140 for the spring install at TWS. they were gonna charge me more too, but I hassled it down.
i got free alignment at the dealership for warranty repair for replacing the strut arm.

i'm in irvine and i always make the drive to walnut to the wheel supply to get my tires or suspension changed. about 35 min from irvine.
make an appointment and you can be in and out ASAP.
what i like is that sander doesn't mind you watching as they do the install.
gives you piece of mind.

Got my KW V1 coilover installed at EF1 in Long Beach for ~$270. Fab does good work. They'll do a free alignment after the install as well. Also got my brakes and BIX installed there as well.
