Yea you can go to:
Motor Fx
1820 w. 220th st. #200
torrance, ca 90501
number is (310) 222-8788

or

Signal Auto
1719 abalone ave. #401
torrance, ca 90501

They are both on the same street. signal auto is right at the corner and if you go alittle more down that same street you will see motor FX on the right hand side.

Do not go to Signal Auto. I mean, they are a respected tuners in Japan, but they are pretty shady here. They quoted me a different price than my friend's for an installation of coilovers. They over charge waaaay too much. They were going to charge me $185 to install coilovers. I don't know if this happened to other people but that is what happened to me.

haha! actually yea dont go to signal auto unless you are japanese... they do overcharge on some stuff, and love to make fun of rice rockets and other things that they see that they dont like. They mostly are into nissan and just pure power, they talk mad jazz behind your back in japanese with their co-workers. I know this because my friend is japanese and he would tell me they would be talking jazz about people that would pull inside with their cars.
