Default spring install

I'm going to eventually get Eibachs for my S2K, but am holding off because I know the install and alignment at a good place will cost a lot more than the springs themselves.
First off, what places around the Sarasota/Bradenton area are reputable for the install and alignment (Tampa wouldn't be too far if I had to drive there)?

Also, I don't have the necessary tools or probably expertise w/ this car, but in the past I've had help from those that have those things to install suspensions on my former BMW and RSX-S (w/ some cash incentive of course!)--is there anyone in the area with such tools and knowledge that would be able to help me out instead of taking my ride to a shop? Of course I'd assume that a shop would still be necessary for the alignment afterwards

Thanks for any advice/help!!

Also, I eventually want to attend all these meets and drives that you all arrange--gotta get my ride right first though!

LHT Performance in Tampa,is a reputable shop.They had their k-swapped Insight on the front of Honda Tuning.I been to the shop,my friend had a custom H22 turbo setup done.They probably do suspension work also.One of the tech's has a red S2k.I'm not to far from Venice if u ever want to meet up.Last sunday they had a drag/car show at the Brandenton race track.You should have put your S2000 in it.I think there was 3 or 4....

I'm finally ordering these springs soon; anybody still down for helping me with the install? I don't have the tools nor expertise to pull it off myself, but would greatly appreciate any help (I'll throw in some $ for your time and effort)
I live in the Bradenton area, and don't mind driving within the greater Tampa area for any help
Thanks again!

Either do the spring install your self and take it to a local place for an alignment or take it to S&R Performance for all of it.
