Exclamation WTB: somebody to install my lowering springs on a 202, for cash bay area

I really need someone's help to install my springs in the bay area or sac or anywhere in the area. I dont care how you do it, whether you use jacks, spring compressor whatever, as long as you are safe and my car doesnt become damaged. I will assist you in the install if you need my help. I will pay cash, and buy some lunch if you want. I would really appreciate this as the shops are charging like crazy. I am willing to pay a certain amount, but just either email me a price or post your price up on the board.

my email is eckofade72@comcast.net

thanks so much guys

Ok nevermind guys, I found a place in Fremont. They will do it for 170. Thanks persn, but the oakland shop was unable to do it for the price i was looking for. C230x, i called EMC and they referred to a tuner shop in Fremont and I called the shop and bam! 170 bucks!

FYI: i called three other local euro shops or mercedes shops, they all charge 300+dollars for spring swap!
