Default Tanabe Springs Install - Tampa

Anybody have a good recommendation for spring install with spacers here in Tampa Florida? The one shop I called, Wheel Tec, wanted $475 with an alignment. Seems high right?

The car is a Lexus GS350 F Sport. Got NF210 Tanabe Springs and B2 auto design spacers. 15mm front and 20mm rear. I'm keeping the factory f sport wheels. Shouldn't have any problems with rubbing should I?

Wheel Tec is a good place , however i think average for spring install is 250 | alignment 100.00.
You will fine on the spaced out stockers..

I had my Tanabe NF 210s installed at WheelTec in Tampa and to be honest, I thought they did an awesome job. I have no affiliation to that business but I couldn't be happier with the service they provided. Waldy was the guy who helped me and he walked me through the entire process before hand just so I was sure about everything prior to the work being done. I paid about $800 for my install but I had the following done

1. Install Tanabe Springs
2. alignment (they do one right after install and they will do another after the springs "settle" mine never needed the second alignment)
3. One of my Vossens was chipped so they fixed the chip and repainted the wheel
4. Painted my calipers and installed FSport Sticker
5. car wash

Pricey? I don't know. But in hindsight the work and customer service were awesome and worth every penny.

As a comparison, I had my 2013 tundra lifted at Ideal automotive in Tampa and I had nothing but problems. so that's two different companies doing suspension work on my vehicles, one did awesome and the other was less than stellar.
