I got my Sportlines from TireRack.com. Big well known place, great to do busniess with, springs came within like two days I believe.

I installed the springs myself, along with the help of a few friends in my own driveway.

I'd say the Dealer or any Local Reputable Tuner shop.

depends on where in ontario you are, come down to buffalo and swerve motorsports will do it. i did mine there, most likely it would would be myself and rich installing them.

I cannot believe people are actually recommending for someone who's already said they're not that mechanically inclined to do a suspension install.

I'm assuming you're installing springs? If it's just a strut bar or a sway bar, then hells yeah, have at it yourself, there's not much you can screw up. If you're installing anything involving springs or anything requiring the use of a spring compressor - TAKE IT TO A PROFESSIONAL SHOP. That is one car-related thing you do not **** around with.

As for finding a shop, ask some locals, most tuning shops will do a suspension.

you can do plenty of damage installing strut bar... too many people on here have broken off the bolts when tightening it down ;-)

This is true, but being aware of torque spec usually reduces or eliminates that problem.

I re-read and he said sportlines - professional install only. Spring compressors are not for the inexperienced.
