YES!

Just what I needed. I'm looking for some good, reliable shops in the area. I live in the South Bay. I just bought a bunch of stuff and need quality installers. Plus I need modding advice haha.

Kevin at 168 Motoring got in touch with me in regards to my inquiry about the RS*R Downs. I'll pay him a visit soon. Seems like a nice guy, so I'll throw it out there to start it off.

Also, I think it would be useful if OP compiled a list of SoCal shops and put it in the original post so it'll be easier to use a shop locator reference source.

I'm in San Diego. South Bay LA? I also picked up some RS*R Down springs. I got in touch with some local shops down here in SD. Autofashion was charging $225 and Pann Auto was charging 220 to install The cost of the install is as much as the springs itself. It is also advised to get an alignment aterwards too.

Here in SoCal as well.
I move from LA to OC.

Friend has got a shop in Mission Viejo right off the freeway called garagelife. Give them a call and see what they can do for you.

Hope this helps!

Promax motorsports in Alhambra does a great job with suspension installs for a pretty good price. Give them a call!

guys, don't go to promax. I've been there once and seen their work and it's far from professional.

MV wraps in El Monte sounds tempting with a decent price as well. Not sure how their work is, but any insight from you guys?
