Default Kansas City Tein Spring Install

I have a set of H-techs that I was looking to install but I'm having difficulties finding a reputable shop in the KC area. The only shops I can think of are places like Firestone, Sears, and Midas auto care. If anyone has any recommendations/suggestions of a reputable independent shop I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Tyler

tC is kind of hard . . . I havn't done it myself, but a capable guy in my club brought either the front or rear in for us to do at the dealership . . . don't remember which set . . .

Then again, other people I know have done it so . . .

You might try some wheel shops.

It seems to be a biased view from everyone I ask but I was hoping someone had success with a shop that lowered their car.

Shorberg...What is the Toyota/Scion Dealership's labor rate runnin' right now?

Busy busy . . . where the heck have you been? Your car better be showing up in the near future or we'll all just assume you fell off the planet again!
