Default Ranting about NTB and my spring install

Ok this is a rant about NTB (National Tire and Battery) and how much fun i had thursday

I recently was going to have NTB install my springs as I had called them and they said they could install them with no problem... well I went outside put on my new 18' rims and drove over there because they told me $75 per side to install so i was excited... well I got there and they looked at the H.Techs and said the drop would be too much and they wouldnt be able to get my car off the lift, then the guy tells me to drive to another NTB like 30miles away because they can do it, so I left NTB and called the other NTB and they told me that they will not install lowering springs at all. I was pretty ____ed so I went to a buddies house and we installed them and it was fairly easy.... well we started with the rear first and the first spring took like an hour but after we new what to do so we finished in 2 hours total it was bada$$!
In a week or so after my springs settle a bit more I will snap some pics but atm I think i have about a 2 finger gap and its so much better than the stock size where i could fit like 4 1/2 fingers

EDIT
I forgot to mention I also called a place named Performance Unlimited and they offered to install the springs but wanted to charge me $475 and that included an alignment, also Midas said would be about $350 without an alignment and they said it would take an entire day to install the springs....
