Default Springs install and alignment shop near Berkeley?

Hi Guys,

I moved to El Cerrito, which is right north of Berkeley, about a year ago and since I MY00 is a garage queen I haven't had to get work done on it. Now I've decided to change my springs to Skunk2s because the cheap crap springs I bought four years ago are sagging bad in the rear.

Do you guys know of a good shop in the area I can get the springs swapped at and one for an alignment? I'm considering doing the swap myself but I'm having a lazy streak going with the holidays. For the alignment I'll need a shop that takes lowered cars. I have a front lip so it'll be pretty slammed up front.

Also, I work in Walnut Creek/Pleasant Hill so if you guys know of somewhere good around there, that would work too.

I used to goto Motorsport Techniques in Hayward and really liked them for general work and alignments.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Happy Holidays!

For install, cross the bridge and go here.

Just to let you know those springs cause the rear to be lower then the front...but they have the biggest drop.

Thanks for the heads up Ap1porVida. I saw pics of that on another thread and I am looking to stay low.

My springs now has a two finger gap up front and a one to two finger tuck in the back. Lame. I hate speed bumps.

not really near berkeley but highly recommend auto innovations in milpitas, been through a couple alignments and they did the best job at the best price
