Default what OC shop?: Spring install, Alignment, Mount Tires?

Anyone have a good experience with reliable service in OC (I am in south OC, but can drive for a good shop) to install new front springs (I can do the rears in 20 min), new front tires and align my car to the latest NISSAN SPECS?

Thanks for the help!!

really not a big help, I can find shop phone numbers. I need to find a place that installs tires reverse mount on 19" rims, AND has a state of the art alignment machine and a dude in the back that can throw some springs on the front. A lot of people install tires, but don't do align. A lot of people do align but no install tires, and some people do install tires and align, but don't have anyone willing to put some springs on.

Thanks.

You may want to wait to get an alignment after your springs settle all the way.

to get really good quality work, you may have to be willing to go to different people outside the oc.

Tires & spring install: Status in Hermosa Beach
Alignment: M-Workz or West End Alignment in Torrance

Dang, sounds like I probably need to go to some different shops, unless I want to wait all freakin day and blow a day off. Maybe I will just go to shops in South OC so I can drop the car off and have individuals shops do different stuff.

Who is South OC would you recommend to do a spring install??
