Question How much to install springs in So Cal area???

I am going to be getting some comptechs next week and was looking to get them installed. I have a buddy whose dad has installed springs on my previous car but I am afraid that would void out my warranty because he is not a certified mechanic. Los Angeles area, preferably San Fernando Valley to be more specific for shops and prices??? Can anyone recommend a shop and how much it cost??? Thanks

I got mine done at this one place in San Fernando Valley (Tire Pros), but I don't recommend them! They left grease marks on the seats, and on the back sub grill, guess they didn't know how to access the back springs. Although it only costed me $125, I won't go back there again.
Sorry, I don't know any other "reputable" places out here.

I was quoted by Vic at Discount Tire in El Monte (wheeloptions.com) at $100 for spring install, but I am also buying rims and tires from him so he might be giving me a deal.

I was also quoted $100 at Discount Tires in El Monte for installation and alignment. He warned though that I might need a camber kit that would cost $300 or so.
I still haven't lowered my car yet.
