Default Good suspension installers east bay

Hey guys another quick question, I always appreciate your guys help. Was wondering if there's any recomendations of any good suspension installers. I got the skunk2 springs from the forums on Friday, and am really looking forward to get them on. It's not that I don't know how to do it, but I've never been mechanically inclinded (or really good with my hands period), so in a lot of ways I don't trust myself working on my own card if that makes sense. The big o tires near me did a great job with my alignment/tires but I didn't know if places like this know how to properly preload suspension.

Appreciate it as always guys.

PM -outkast-. He can do them among other car things. He swapped out my coils when I put the S back to stock.

I never thought something as simple as a suspension swap could be so dangerous. Because of the way the brake line was routed (due to the improperly installed shock) it actually bent the bracket where the soft line connects to the hard line on the chassis.

Redzone Performance. They have installed a wide range of suspension systems, from coilover springs to JRZ Race Triples.

Just springs for now. Didn't have the money for a full setup, but wanted to sit a little lower and the skunk2's provide a nice drop in the interim
