Default Shop recommendations to get coilovers installed?

Thinking about buying some BC racing coilovers for my IS350 and was wondering if anyone could recommend a reputable shop to do the install at? Would prefer to stay in South Puget Sound, but let me know where everyone is going?

Thanks!

position 1 in bremerton did my setup ...

they do roll cages d1, formula d, scca spec. they also do alot of the race cars setup ... the have alot of experience in road racing as well as the drifting scene

he does the old school way of by wire, string, levels for the alighment... i got my car back and the thing was running smooth and straight and the prefect ride height

they did my aggressive fender pull (without hurting the paint) and installed coilovers, BBK, and installed arms, and alighnment

talk to justin and say mark with the y33 sent ya .. he will hook you up .. its a bits aways i know because i live in tacoma .. but well worth it .. he does quality work ...

Installing coilovers is not rocket science so any decent shop with an ASE certified mechanic can do it. If you're mechanically inclined and with the right tools, you can do it yourself. Just google and there is a step by step guide (w/ pictures) by an IS350 owner who installed coilovers.

Now if you want suspension tuning to go with it which is not what you're asking for then that's a different ball game.
