Default Installation of Tein CS and Wheels..

I just got my Tein CS coilovers in..and I am about to purchase some new wheels for my SC430.

Is there anything in particular that I sould ask when calling around to some different Car Mod shops? Or if anyone is near Eastern TN, are there any reputable shops in the area?

Around what price should I expect for the coilover install?

Thanks for the help...

I talked my dealer into installing mine, a bit pricy but I couldn't find a specialty shop I thought would do a better job. Luckily they did a great job, including drilling access holes in the rear panels in the trunk which are covered by removable plugs. From what they told me you can drop it 1 1/2" in the front, any lower than that and they can't get the car on the rack. I'm also going to install a body kit so I didn't want to be at the most aggressive setting. I'm happy with the way it looks at 1 1/2" even with my stock 18" TRDs. I know there are folks here running lower so I'd ask around. I've tried adjusting them at full soft, full hard and have settled to the Tein recommended setting of 10 rear and 6 front. It's a great mod you will not believe the difference in the handling of the car, without loss of ride comfort.
