Shops in San Diego for installation?

Can you guys recommend a good shop in the San Diego area who can do coilover installation? Thanks.

Many shops are available for an install. I am sure you're interested in someone who is Rotary friendly. depends what part of S.D. you live in.
Dan @ Econo Lube N tune in Poway, ca 92064 phone number is 858-679-8004. This is where i get my work done at. Dan the Man is the Owner.

After many intimate moments with the search button, I opted for the Tein SS. Hope they're good ones *cross fingers* cause my 'ol set up of konis/eibachs are shot. FDSeoul, I'll look more into the shop. Thanks :-)

Basically, I spend my week up in Camp Pendleton, so I wouldn't really mind dropping off the car somewhere up there, if anyone else knows a good shop there.

But I'm in Chula Vista during the weekends, so a shop down here would be good as well.

Gene, do you know of any?

Thanks again guys.

I would but the majority of my time is up there is spent training. Weekends are too short and I'd rather spend it being with my family/friends.

lol. Been a long while since I was in the whole car arena. I have no idea where this sudden burst of interest of modding came from. 2nd wind I guess.

I changed my suspension last week. Only takes 2-3 hours. Especially when its a complete colilover. It's always nice to do the work yourself sometimes. At least you know its done right. Good Luck.
