Lowering springs in San Gabriel Valley

Actually I want to take the lowering springs off my e90 and put back on the stock set. Anyone know of a shop or individual who does springs for a reasonable price in my area?

For the old timers, Matt put these on for me originally. Whatever happened to that guy? Last time I talked to him he was selling his tools and joining the Military. Very cool guy.

Bring it to me, I will do it for $120, and include setting your alignment back into proper specifications for a factory height car.

Work/Labor is guaranteed lifetime.

Send me a PM and I will provide my phone number to you.

I will match and beat anyone's price. Have been doing it that way for 7+ years.

It's not that serious to compress OEM springs with proper compressors and tools.

Like I said, its not that serious with proper tools and techniques. The E9x platform is actually not a difficult job. Easier than most in fact.
