Thuan can install it for you for beer

If you need a professional shop, I would recommend Curt: www.ccsnorthsidemotors.com, Johnny @ Overdrive Auto, or Huy @ Inline Racing.
I'd recommend Johnny, although he's up in Conroe his prices are reasonable and you can really trust that guy and his work.

Holy crap. I don't usually dive into mechanic work, but coilovers were surprisingly easy. 2-3hrs max. $150-$200 seems fair for a shop with overhead expenses. $900 is a rip...sounds like an exploit of someone's trust in your work.
