Spring Install in San Diego Recommendations?

Can anybody recommend a shop in San Diego to have springs installed? I called Black Forest and they sent me to another place that was asking $550 plus alignment....from what I have read, that is $400 overpriced and the car shouldn't need an aligment for 1" front/ 0.5" rear drop.

TIA!

I've had work done with these guys before. Very good and they have good pricing. I didn't get spring work done but I know they do a good bit of that.

it's a bit of a drive but if you are ever needing to go to the El Monte/Pasadena area, LTBMW can install the springs for cheaper than what you listed so far. You may want to contact him first to make sure it's worth the drive/gas.

Thanks! His Web site says $175 and I actually sent him a message today, but El Monte is quite a drive just for a spring install. I miss living in LA when it comes to vehicle mods!

Thanks! I actually gave them a call this morning after I ran into another BMW fan on Sunday who gave me their card. Great to know that they are highly recommended!
