Default Local shops install springs?

Does anyone know any local southern cali shops that install springs for cheap? I recently just got Teins S-Tech springs but need to find a place that can do it for me. The Teins springs is going to lower the car only by an inch all around so do I need an alignment and camber kit?

anytime you change the the ride height of the vehicle..you should get an alignment. once you get the springs installed, i would wait about a month before getting any alignment to allow the springs to settle in.

i have the same springs on my car and once the springs settled in, I have a about a 2 finger gap in the front and about a 1.5 finger gap in the rear and i'm running on 17inch rims.

a lot of the people run the euro spec alignment which makes the car a bit more planted in turns at the sacrifice of increased tire wear.

regardless of the alignment..go get one done with darrin at westend alignment in gardena. he comes HIGHLY recommended as many other s2000 owners will vouch for him.

Well you can take it to promax in alhambra to install the springs and get an appointment from Westend Alignment.

two weeks should be enough for the spring to settle, and thats how long the wait is for the appointment with Westend.
