...or look up BMW repair shops in your area. Most of them do MINI stuff as well...at least in my experience.

I can give you a few other options too. If you're on the west side of town, I can point you to Kensington Motor Cars near Flamingo & Arville. Phone number is 222-0444, tell Bill that Agro sent you.
If you're on the east side of town, talk to Precision Automotive, phone 456-4911, tell Georgeann that Andrew from the MINI club sent you.
Or, you can come down to Palace Station the last weekend in March for AMVIV and buy your suspension bits from someone who will install them for you. Have a look at www.amviv.com, especially the sponsors page.
