Default Southern California X-Brace Installation

Anyone know of a place I can get an X-Brace installed on a Saturday anywhere in Southern California? I would do it myself but not sure I want to go out and buy jackstands and a torque wrench. Thanks.

x brace takes like 5 minutes to install. any shop shouldn't charge more than $15 for labor. Division R is a nice place... e-autosports is good also

Post in your local forum and I bet someone will live near you and will do it for a 6 pack. I would, but the drive up to Boise would be a pain in the rear this time of year in a S.

Where do I put the jack stands? Once I have the jack on there, there is no room for the stands. Do I put them somewhere else?

Also what size are bolts? I thought they were M10, but what is that in MM? I tried a 10mm and that is too small.

The stands can be placed on the sub frame on the car at both ends.

An M10 bolt takes a 14MM wrench.
