Default Coilovers - install shop?

I have Zeal coilovers that need to be installed. Besides Tommy's and Dynamics, any other recommendations as to where to go to get them installed and how much?

I live in Huntington Beach and work in Orange so near one of these cities would work best for me.

Thanks in advance!

Should it matter? I figure if a shop is good with one Lexus, they'd be good with any Lexus. That's why I didn't mention specifics.

Vinam Auto Repair in Midway City. It's across the street from Dynamics. Ghetto looking shop, but the owner is a Toyota/Lexus master tech and owns a modified GS400 himself. Quite a few CL members go there for installs. I wouldn't trust anyone else to touch my car but him.

VIP Autosalon is in Orange, they share the same building as APEX'i

Also drift speed is pretty close to you as well.

Yea, contact Guy @ VIP AUTOSALON. They'll hook you up and they're really savvy about the SC430.

You're reading too much into my reply. Why would I come here asking for help with an attitude. The tone was of curiosity, and it doesn't seem like anyone else read it any other way. So stop assuming...and next time, take a wiff before you bite into your Fruit Loops
