Default help with coilover install

Anyone want to help me out with installing mine? I'm in huntersville. Could use any help I could get as I haven't installed them before. Also, anyone know of a good shop to do alignments and mount tires on 18s without scratching them?

If you feel like driving down to Matthews Saturday morning we can install them at my house; I've got jacks, stands, and all the tools you would need. I've swapped my coilovers a stupid amount of times, lol. My friends think I have an addiction. Between the two of us we could have it done in two hours no problem, probably quicker.

What kind of coilovers did you buy? Anything else done to the car, like sway bars?

Also, I have a good hookup at Modern Nissan of Lake Norman for alignments and tire mounting, and another for tire mounting in Concord that has the best tire mounting equipment money can buy if you want to make 1000% sure they won't scratch them. I'll shoot you a PM.

My car is brickyard red. Looks purple if you see it. I have a CR lip and white AP2V2s and a horrible looking single exhaust right now lol. I appreciate all the help but I think I'm gonna get help from Coolguy if our schedules work out, mostly because I have basically no tools down here. If all you guys are so close though we should meet up and let me do a mini photoshoot of our cars!
