Where's a good shop to get my Civic lowered on Van Island?

I just priced a couple of types of lowering springs at Big-O Tires in Nanaimo and for Sportlines it'll cost approx. $1300(this includes taxes, front and rear camber kits, & lbr). I thought that getting my car lowered would be alot cheaper. Anyone know where in Nanaimo that I can get my car lowered that won't cost me an arm and a leg???

That's simple,

Get to Richmond via Knight St bridge. Take the Bridgeport Rd West exit and continue on Bridgeport until you hit Simpson. Take a left at Simpson and another immediate left into Garage Five's Parking Lot.

If U get lost U can always give me a shout seeing I'm in Richmond most of the time. PM me for my # if U want it

Garage Five is open from 11-7pm Mon-Sat. Closed Sundays.

I just got an email from "No Limit Auto" in Victoria saying that it'l cost me $450 + tax to get my car lowered from them. This is a 1.5" drop with H&R's.

is that $350 @ G5 before any discounts/deals? I think i might be better off going there instead of Victoria (even though it'l cost just under $90 for the ferry). But would you guys recommend a camber kit??? I keep getting conflicting answers from shops around here. Some say it's a good idea, and others say that with a 1.5" H&R drop the supplier says that it's unnecissary to get a camber kit.
