Exclamation best places to get spings, rear camber, alignment in socal?

i tried doing a search but didnt really get anywhere with it. saw the sticky list of socal shops but there are only about 2 or 3 that do suspension work. i live in the 310 area and i have already contacted STATUS and EDO but i still want to get some more price quotes before i pull the trigger. any other reputable shops that can install my tanabe gf210 springs, spc rear camber+toe kit, and do an aligment for a reasonable price? im willing to drive a little further if i have to. looking to have this done on friday so i need this info asap!

i think im gonna end up going to STATUS for these installs since they gave me the best price. m-workz never got back to me and west-end never answered their phone.

Why don't you take it to Precision Z then? The guy who does alignment and corner balancing there is a perfectionist. You won't be dissapointed.

i can attest to this. bring something to read, and go on nice day so you can sit outside and watch him work. you might be there for a while but he works wonders.

Dude, Bryan does the best work for good deal!.. You should contact him and ask him. I'm sure he can't do alignment but he can do most of the work done. Pm me if you want his ID name.

I third this motion!!!! Dude is truly a perfectionist! I hope you're patient if you intend to wait for your car at the shop, only because he will not rush and compromise quality. You should get there early morning to give him plenty of time to do work.

holy crap i completely forgot! sorry bout that man but either way i think i would have gone with a shop anyways because of what i said earlier: i want someone who can insure their work...i would hate for something to go wrong during or after the install and having you be liable for it...much rather have a shop worry about it. either way...ended up getting all the installs done by STATUS yesterday. VERY GREAT PRICE!...customer communication was sketchy though...hopefully i can get a rep from there to clear things up for me though. ill be posting pics of the finished product asap! thanx again 0H6 even though i didnt take up your offer. but hey, atleast now i can roll out to meets with you now that my car has some mods
