Default Looking for shop for suspension install/tire sales/wheel mount in So. Cal

Like the title says...I am looking for a place close to the South Bay that is trustworthy (I have tried to contact Todd @ TME but he is hard to get a hold of) and can install some springs and sell/mount some tires to go with my new wheels.

Any ideas?

I know about TWS, Discount Tire El Monte, etc... anything closer and reasonable...let just say I have gotten quotes to install just springs with alignment for $475 from some high-end shops...lol...and I have heard that the springs are very easy to install on the C32.

Let me know...thanks!

Also...any wheel suggestions?

I am considering Michelin PS2, Pirelli PZero Nero, Nitto NT555, Toyo T1-S...any other tires that are performance related and have a decent wear life...these are for 19" wheels.

235/19/35 & 265/19/30 to be exact.

I have Nitto NT555's on my 19's and they're fine, I mean I'm sure there's better but these are perfectly fine. As far as an install try to contact Ken, aka "2jzsc3" he and his brother work out of a shop in El Monte and I'm sure he can take care of you

For my stock wheels and suspension, I was impressed with Atlantic Tire and Auto Service at 1010 N Fairfax in West Hollywood (just South of Santa Monica Blvd). Especially the price- $10 per tire for a full mount/balance!

They even provide "e-estimates" at tire1@pacbell.net. Details on my visit can be found here:
