Well, I don't know about a shop as I'm in Ky. and did mine myself. But the TSW's are outstanding! The drop is very subtle though, so if you're looking to slam your car you should probably look at Eibach or Mach V. However, the ride on the TSW's is amazing. HUGE improvement over stock. If you have any questions about them feel free to PM me, or talk to Dustin at AutoXCooper.com.

Speaking of alignments... if you go with TSW, they advise you to wait until the springs are fully settled (they take a while) before you get your alignment.

Well, I guess I know where to go now... By the way, I got the car this past week so I need to be looking up my mods pretty soon.
