Try EF1 Motorsports in Long Beach. Fab is a great guy and knows what he's doing. $350 install with alignment.

anything over $300 is a ripoff $250 is fair.. anyhting lower then $200 is a pretty good deal..

Try doing the install yourself. I should be getting my H&R sports on Friday and if I have time i'll try to throw them on over the weekend. I can't imagine them being too difficult to install. Maybe i'll make a DIY thread with some pictures or maybe my car will end up at a shop for the install

I did them myself as well with a friend.. I did not do this on a lift which makes it much more difficult.. I just jacked the car up on both sides and did the install.. took around 5hrs to do it.. bolting the struts back on the rear are a pain!

Got my springs in over the weekend. I was too lazy to do it myself so I paid a local tech to do it. His brother works at Dinan and they did it on the side for me at their house for $160. Pretty good deal I think

You should look into going to Sonic MotorSports. They're in Santa Clara off the Trimble exit on the 101. It's where EuroCarFan, freed0m, ro11dice, delje08, and I all get our work done.

I live in South Fl. too (Miami).
PM me for the names of a couple of places. I had mine done at Wheel Boutique for $250. They only work on high end cars (my regular 530i would be considered low end for them), and they handled my work as if they had done the job hundreds of times.

Be careful if the place does not handle high end work on a regular basis. I found one place that quoted $150, but they handled mods mostly for Civics and Altimas.
