Default Trying to Install Tanabe Coilover

Hello,

For those who lowered their CTs, did you have trouble taking to the shop and asking to install your coilovers or springs?

I just ordered my coilovers and with excitement I called in couple of body shops in the Bay Area and asked around if they were able to install my Tanabe Sustec Pro S-0C.
Sadly, they were saying I should try asking other places since they never have installed these to Lexus CTs....

Just wondering if this was a common problem of finding someone to install it for you.

Find a shop that specializes in aftermarket parts for imports (Subaru, Honda, Nissan, etc) and you shouldnt have a problem.

You could also try Yelp as a resource and hope to find a reputable shop with good feedback reviews.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
I underestimated the labor cost of coilovers...
