Coilover installation in 310/323 and beyond? LA/OC

Anybody here have any shop recommendations (or can help me out DIY) I'm in the WLA area. Willing to drive anywhere for the right help.

I just bought a great used Tein Super Sport off a fellow ziner. I'm still running the stock '07 TL wheels/rims. I'm guessing I'll need a camber kit. I want to get XXR 530's after the install. Any and all help would be appreciated. As I really need it...AGAIN!

I'll come to you and throw in beer, wine, a bottle of liquor, green or whatever you poison is.

If you have a shop recommendation or want to charge for work, no worries! If you could please LMK the price as well. (if you know what an install costs)

I'm in Culver City too (Mar Vista actually) and I just had my A-Spec suspension installed at Westside Brake and Tires a month ago. Perhaps we've seen each other around. haha

No shit? That's so funny. Yes, I'm all over CC and Mar Vista. I know the place you're speaking of too. Did they treat you well? What car you driving? I'll keep my eye out for ya.
I'm in the Braddock Dr/Centinella area. And work at Sony. Easy ass commute for me!

I've had an few offers from fellow ziners to help me do the install. So, I'm thinking of taking them up and getting a little DIY time w/my TL. Now I just gotta find that time.

Dude. You live like less than a mile from me. I'm near Centinela and Washington Blvd. I've actually been looking to install LEDs in my license plate. Perhaps you can help me out? And I can tell you how much Westside charged me (they're just south of washington on sepulveda). PM if interested.

DIY the install. There is plenty of guides on the site. Did it myself in 3 hours with no air tools. Easy as pie.

Shops will charge an arm and a leg since they have to pay overhead.

Take off trunk cover and take out license plate bulbs. Reverse the order and you're done.

Installing or replacing bulbs in the trunk is pretty much self explanatory.

Just give it a try, you'll see how easy it is
