That is a great price for install and alignment.

$140 is a killer deal. I would jump on that if I needed coilovers installed.

Definitely a great price! Alignment alone is generally about $100 so the shocks and springs are being mounted for $40, thats practically for free! What part of Cali are you in GS?

Painting the calipers is easy, I have done it to both the GS and the SC. Cost is minimal, about $20-$30 dollars for the paint kit. If you plan on adding decals to the painted calipers, have them in hand so you can do it at the same time, before the calipers get dirty again. Figure install on the L-tuned shocks/springs same as replacing stock about 2 hours plus the alignment. If you do the calipers yourself, use jack stands so you can take all 4 wheels off at once. That way you can proceed from wheel to wheel without delay. The good caliper paint has a hardener in it and the paint only stays usable once mixed for about 3 hours give or take depending on temperature. Remove all wheels, prep all surfaces to get them clean, paint all four once then start back at the beginning doing all four again. Let dry, apply decals, remount your wheels. Drive off and be proud. Its as simple as it sounds.
