Shop that puts stock springs back in. DC,NOVA area??
I just called Quality Tire in Woodbridge where they installed my H&R springs, and they quoted me $300 
for the install to put my stock spring back in. They charged me $125 to put the H&r's in. I think that price is rediculous to put stockers back in
So does anyone in the DC metro area know of a that will put my stock springs in that will be around $150 price range?? Thanks alot!

Sorry I don't live in that area, but you should explain to them that they're not doing any more work than before. The only thing they may have to do is compress the stock spring more in order to mount the rubber strut base. So if anything maybe charge another $25, but even that is not necessary.

Check out this thread in clubrsx, dc metro forum DC Area Mods . You should PM I-MOD on there and see if he could help you out. I think he said awhile back when I inquired, CL/TLs wouldn't be a problem, but check with him. He's done two suspensions on my RSX and does great work.

Springs
Take out the back seats, are you nuts?
Pop the pillars on the rear window, pop the carpet pins behind the backseats, and that rear lid come off without tearing anything up.
(YES I'VE DONE THIS, TWICE NOW)
Take time, be patient. Might put a fitted sheet over your leather, climbing in and out of there all dirty can make a mess.
You can drop / put factory stuff back on that car in under 4 hours with an impact wrench, floor jack, air rachet, and $50 spring compressor clamps.
Seriously it's like 3 bolts per wheel, with a few extra nuts in the front to drop the shock towers off the strut bar.
