I used them twice. Once to install springs and the other time to install shocks.

After installing my own shocks last weekend, I discovered how bad of a job they did. My tophats in the back were loose, bolts weren't torqued down enough, the back seat was missing some bolts. They just cut too many corners.

There's a reason they charge so cheap.

Come to me. I don't cut corners, always torque down every single bolt properly and I always reinstall all the rear seat bolts.

I'm also looking for someone, who can work on 3G TL-S. I'm thinking about dropping it a bit (about 1.5" to 2.0") and installing an A-SPEC body kit. Anyone with skills in LA or Ventura counties?

Can't really give a good recommendation until the OP gives us a more accurate location.
