Default cheap place to get suspension installed in VA?

i've never installed a suspension before but would like to learn.. just dont want to dive into it on my own

i'm looking to install used H&R sport springs and tociko illuminas on my civic. one guy works at a dealership, which would be ideal since he has the LCA bolts and tools right there if something goes wrong. he wants 150 or 200.
another friend can do it but i know he's F'd up his suspension before so i'm not sure i trust him

is there any shops that will do a good job for about 100 or so? thanks

Artek, DASH, Vertex, EIP all do GOOD work don't go cheap if you want it done right. Artek and DASH are near me in Manassas, EIP is in Alexandria and I think Vertex i too

i've never heard of the other 3 places but i should check em out.. vertex is in tysons or vienna. i've been there before and wasnt too impressed, but this was 3 or 4 years ago

how much am i lookin at...... if its 250-300 noway cuz from what i understand its not too difficult of a job, i just dont want to tackle it with handtools for my first drop

Evolutions out in Centreville and CDE is in Fairfax...Nu Image and Inline (do they do suspension install?) are in Springfield...You dont have ANY friends that know how to install them? The install isnt hard at all, but make sure you rent the spring compressor OR have a few friends push down on it (not the safest way, but it works) while you unbolt it the struts and spring apart...if you have any questions PM me

if i had the time i would love to do it for you.. i could really use the extra money right now and i have all the tools and **** in my garage at my house.. check into some shops and get it done.. its really not hard at all to do.. hell for the rear suspension all you need in a 14mm socket and wrench.. front is a little harder but not difficult at all

yeah i know some people that have done it but i don't trust them to touch my suspension. if somebodys gonna do it its going to be somebody that has done a lot of suspensions that i'm sure won't F anything up. i might just get a shop to do it, i'll try calling evolution to see what price they would charge
