8 hours lol they probably let your car sit outside for like 2 hours and they start on it after 30 mins later they get lazy and have a beer and kick back for like 3 hours and finish the car in 2 hours and cleaning the shop for an hour. there you go 8 hours working labor ^^

I would recommend a couple of shops, in no particular order.

Exec Studio in Hacienda Heights, Jay & Chiaki cannot be anymore accommodating. My friend's IS300's power steering pump was going out, I called Jay on a Saturday morning, and Chiaki fixed the car on the same day.

Musicbox in South El Monte, Tommy is such a chill cat. Really relaxed and easy to work with.

There are other shops, but these two come to mind.

I can lower your ride if you want, for a small fee of course. All suspension work on my car has been done by me.... I am going to do a friend's IS350 soon also. I am in the valley, I know it's hard to find omeone out here, you always have to drive to the SGV for the good shops, lol.

M1 Autosports in El Monte is great. They installed my coilovers, and the install was flawless.
