Default Springs/Drop install place in Temecula/Murietta area?

I have a set of Eibachs in the mail and after reading the DIY thread in the 2IS performance forum, I don't think I want to try it by myself.

Anyone know a reputable shop in this area to do an install of my springs? Not looking for the local tire shop-"sure I can do it" kinda place, but a do it right the first time place that has the experience to work on these cars.

i would recommend you go to Dynamic Motorsport by westminster...it's worth the drive...clean and honest master lexus tech, Sonny.

My friend did it and he dropped a few other 2IS along with tons of other cars. it took him 3 hr since he didn't have air tools...hand tools are alot slower and harder to work with...

I had my springs installed at Bob Baker Lexus in El Cajon. I paid a bit more, but I didn't want to worry about voiding the warranty. A friend of mine had his Tein CS and EDFC installed at DCH Motorsports in temecula. Cool people, and clean install. Other than them you would have to drive out of town

Im not sure if the shop is still there but its located on Ynez rd. Its a couple doors down from the Midas right next to the Toyota dealership.

If not there is always Autofashion in San Diego.. Had my coilovers installed there.. Its worth the drive and peace of mind.

yes, they are right by midas/toyota dealership. Ed was right too, AutoFashion is a bit closer than BB Lexus, also heard many good things about them as well.
