Default Competent suspension installers in Md?

Hey guys, so I'm gonna upgrade my suspension to Bilstein PSS9 coil-overs. I may try to do this myself but if not can anyone recommend any good tuner shops in Md area that will take care of the S? Shop or individuals, I'm just looking for someone I can count on to get these installed correctly. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Do 'em yourself, it's pretty straightforward, and save $150-$200. I think mine took 2 or 2.5 hours. There's a good DIY writeup from someone who was installing KW coils, it will walk you through the basic procedure. One tip I'll add - shorten the coilover in the rear as much as possible to ease installation, then set the ride height after they're in place. If not, you have to work much harder to compress the spring to get it in place.

I really hope you and your buddy are are registered S2ki vendors/sponsors because charging another board member is hardly helping out the community.
