Good Shop in NoCal (sac area)

I have just recently purchased a set of Konis and HR springs to lower my CLK55. Any one know of a good reputable shop in the area that can do the install? Anyone done the install at home? I have no problem doing mechanical work just not sure of any specialized tools that might be needed.

Trust me, it will be worth your time once you visit the dealers and talk to them in person. Or you can search the website for you favorite wheels as an alternative.

Good luck

I use Schantz and Krumm (sp) in Sacto to do these sort of things for my C43. They are right off Florin-Perkins south of Jackson Hy.

They said thanks but no thanks. Told me they work on a few but send all of their work out to "JBZ" I have never heard of them. When I called I was quoted a price of $600 for the job. That seems high to me and they did not sem to confident in the job. When I asked about spring pads they acted like they had never heard of them. I guess I will keep looking.
