Bilstien/Energy/Ingalls installation

I'm about to recieve my Bilstien shocks,front and rear lca Energy bushings, and my Ingalls camber kit. I'm just wondering where am I going to get this equipment installed.
I live in the SF bay area and I'm willing to drive anywhere to get this intalled at a reliable shop at a fair price.
I would do it myself but I go to school in san luis obispo and work, plus I don't got the tools
Does anybody have any recommendations, it would really help.I plan on getting it done this weekend.
Thank U

Front LCA bushings need to be pressed in so you have to find someone with a press. Rear bushings are going to be a bitch. There are two that are easy and one that is hard. If you want to save yourself some money just get the two easy ones installed. All that installed with alignment a week later is probably going to cost you a good $5-600.

well i hope he installs the pain in the *** bushing for the rear...sometimes shops don't realize how much work it will take then decide not to do it. Let us know how it turns out.

yea when the installer seen the rear bushing, he said he'll do it for 25 each side.my original quote was 350 so another 50 isn't that bad.I hope they're honest with me about actually gettin in the rear ones in,hopefully they don't lie saying they did them when they didn't. I already gave the bushings to the installer so I can't take anymore pics of them.
