Trustworthy shops in Tacoma to install springs?
OK, I could probably do it myself with the help of some friends....BUT, due to the awesome handling of the S, I want it done correctly and precise. I have Espelir springs on the S and have recently purchased stock springs. When I bought the S it had the Espelirs on it and I am taking it back to stock suspension.
Any shops in the Tacoma area which can be trusted to do it right? Is the H dealer the right place to go? Any idea of what the cost to swap springs would be?
Thanks

There is no "science" to replacing an aftermarket set of springs with a factory set of springs, save your dollars, do it your self and learn something about your car. After your done take you car to get an alignment. thats about as precise as you can get.
You can rent a spring compressor for close to nothing at you local autozone etc.
If you do decide to take it to a shop, your looking to pay an hourly rate of $60+ and your looking at 1.5 - 2hrs or $120 - 200 dollars. An alignment will cost you $80-150+ dollars.
"buy tools not labor" good luck

I'm gonna have to 3rd what UpsFella is saying. There's no "precise" (incorrect use of the word btw ) way to do this. A shop installing your stuff is not going to make the car handle different than you doing it yourself, so you might as well do it yourself. Remember to get that alignment when you're done (which a shop would charge extra for, if they even had the tools).
