Tein coilover install

Can someone please recommend a shop to install my coilovers.

I live in Oceanside and don't want to drive over 50 miles.

09 TL.

I called a place in Vista; they want 400 + 80 for alignment.

This shop may be a little far for you, it's in El Cajon. I've been to this shop twice to intsall aftermarket suspension, however, I would recommend getting the alignment at another shop.

mike,

id go to a place that has done it before rather to a place that just does suspensions.. 4g can get a little tricky as you know.

i recommend impex near my area but that is up to you.

I found a place in Aliso Viejo (39 miles from me) that does 4th Gen TL's for Heel Toe.

I would just go the extra miles and have HeelToe actually do it!

Massimo Power at 951-402-5386 (ask for Mauricio), located where the 71 and 91 meets in Corona. $160 installed without alignment. I know you stated nothing over 50 miles in distance, but if by chance it's more cost effective to go this route, then at least you now have that option. Best of luck!

I charge $100 for springs and $80 for coils, I have plenty of experience with 3G TL and if they are anything the same, I can do it for the same price.
