Coilover Installation?
Any suggestions on a shop to install coilovers for a reasonable price? Any to avoid? I know it really isn't difficult, I just don't have the desire to do suspension/brake work. And a rough idea on cost would be nice.

$250 including 4 wheel alignment
that's the fair rate across town

I had my coilover installed in early May 2012

P.S. earlier I said $200, it was for installing an Acura A-Spec spring and strut (Pre-assembled)

Check out GearHeads in Richmond. It helps that they have an alignment machine in the shop so you can do your drop + alignment all together.

$200 included alignment seems a bit cheap.. I was charged $240 before alignment for my coilovers. When I had springs installed they charged me ~$250 with install and alignment
