School, Working swing shift and raising my daughter not a lot of time to play. LOL I have installed suspension on various other cars but find it to be a pain in the *** haha.

I am more than willing to help you install them. I didn't install my coilovers but a shop did it for free so it's all good. But from the research I've done, our cars are cake! Don't waste your money having someone else install your coilovers. I'm down to help you whether it be at your place or mine and we'll get this done. I live in Ewa so it's no problem. Shoot me a PM!

I got my alignment done at Island Brake and Alignment. They did a good job, just make sure you have an appointment.

Island Brake and Alignment. Did my tacomas lift there with coilovers. Not bad price for install and alignment. They know a lot when it comes to aftermarket suspension.
Streamlines pretty good. Did my wrx valve cover and head gaskets there recently. Only downside is they can get busy so repairs can take a while. My car was there for about a month but runs like a champ now.
