San Jose, Bay Area.... best/cheapest shop 4 spring installs?

I just bought Ct springs after what seems like 5 months of debating if i wana do this. I bought some springs today, and now need a shop! Bay Area peeeps, where is the cheapest/best place to get it done?

So far Wheel Works has offered $200 or so, which seems ok i guess......The Acura dealers wanted $600.

Thanks

$200 sounds pretty good - is that at any wheel works? I'm thinking of getting it done sometime too. Any idea what they'd charge for swapping shocks and springs at the same time?

Hey guys i went to Wheel Works here in San Jose, they wanted $200 for the install and $69 for the alignment. He said the alignment is unlimited times for one year. I could go in everyday if I wanted. What u guys think. Atleast with them i know they do good work, and are a reputable shop. I was hoping for $200 with alignment, but oh well. Any other shops around the south bay?
