Default place to get suspension installed?

i've never installed a suspension before but would like to learn.. just dont want to dive into it on my own, and i don't have air tools. (i know i don't need em but would rather use them)

i'm looking to install used H&R sport springs and tokico illuminas on my civic. i know some people that would do it but i'd rather have a shop install them. i don't want to spend more then $100, anybody know of a shop?

thanks

suspension is actually very easy, even if you have a little bit of car knowledge. if you're going to be taking off stock springs, you have to compress them, but just get some hand compressors from advanced.

follow this tutorial guide and it's a piece of cake: http://www.c-speedracing.com/howto/c...r/coilover.php

Not to mention a spring compressor is cheap, like $20-30 or so.
