Swapping H&R Springs for Eibach

I am planning on swapping out my H&R springs for Eibach (after almost a year still can't get use to the drop in front). Does anyone know of a good shop in South Florida (Boynton Beach/Ft Lauderdale area) that they have used. Don't want to use the shop that did the original lowering, the tech somehow managed to let the left CV axcel slip out form the tranny and took him alomost two hours trying to get it back in while scratching up my newly painted calipers.

No help with a shop here, but you may have better results in the "Southeast U.S." forum.

First time a buddy did a 6th gen struts and springs he did the same thing to that cv axel while I was working on the other side. It took me about 2 hours to put it back in too lol. He has since learned to support the whole thing while removing the strut.

So I did the swap this past Monday, putting the Eibachs on the front and leaving the H&R's on the back. After doing the front I liked the stance the Eibachs gave me, the extra 0.5in makes the front sit nice. For my next Mod I want to install Wheel spacers, I like the factory 18's on my 07 but would like them to sit more flush with the fenders. Does anyone know what the offset of the factory wheels are and what size spacers would be needed to get the flush look.
