spring/shocks install

I need a shop to install my spings and shocks for a good/decent price... any suggestions? Anyone want to help me? (I'm in San Diego right now but will be heading up to 626/909 area for Thankgiving)

Thanks

I'm going to streetimage today. They are going to install my springs and struts. I'll let you if their work is any good. But from what i've hear on this forum, they are one of the best.

You might want to send a message to protocav (Chad) as well. I've read a lot of good things about him and he did some work for me a little while back and I highly recommend him. He has very good prices and does quality work out of his garage.

Street Image does great work and they actually care about their customers. They're up in Baldwin park right off the 10 fwy. www.streetimage.com

Street Image.
If I still had the tools, I'd do it. But, you're better off with Street Image. I would have had to resort to a floor jack, which on the current FM platform is cake. (heh, I did WhiteG35C's install XD with a floor jack)

I have the same setup, tokico and H-Tech(350Z) springs. The fronts dropped to exacly were I wanted to drop. About 1 finger gap. The rear though is higher than i would like it. It's almost 2 fingers. I hoping it will drop another .25 inches when and if it settles down.

As for the ride, I have my tokico's set at 4.5 in the front and 5 from hard in the rear. It rides really smooth and that what my goal with this setup. I'm sure I can make the ride alot stiffer by adjusting the struts, but then would make my ride very uncomfortable.

As for price, $120 for the install at street image.
