Steven Creek Scion is down in SJ and I think Dave can help you out there, but you gotta drive down.

a nice decent shop shouldn't charge you more than $200.

before everyone in here screams about a particular someone that i won't need to mention after this post, it looks like you might still have to drive a bit aways to get your springs installed.. (but at least it'll still be cheaper)

i've installed a few myself and could help you out if you want. and yupppp! Dave at stevens creek scion is one guy you really can trust. he taught me how to install springs

The Shop in San Bruno does it for $150. I think I've recommended like 4 tCs there already and they were all happy w/ the work. So if you're in the area then this is the place to go to; otherwise, the person everyone here is going to refer you to can do it too for a reasonable price if you're in the Milpitis area.

What kind of vehicle do you have and what springs do you need installed? Coilovers? Regular coil springs? Let me know so I can get you a price.

I vote Gabe, unless its Hotckis Springs, then goto Dave @ Stevens Creek Scion (Gabe's spring tool cant get a good grip on Hotckis)
