Default Want to raise car to stock, any recommended shops?

Hi,

I'm looking to raise my car back to stock height. I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation in the city of LA? I know that there are plenty in the suburbs, especially the San Gabriel Valley, but since I live near Beverly Hills, I'd like someplace close. If you know of a place, please let me know. Or if you know someone who does it (doesn't have to be in a shop), that's cool too.


Thanks

a shop will charge you one ******** and your first born...grab a buddy (if you do not know what your doing) and make an afternoon of it. im just guessing that it is lowered with springs? struts maybe? buy OEM springs/struts and sell the aftermarkets.

you can always post a want to trade on your local craigslist... and tell them youll trade them there stock suspension for your lowered suspension... plus some cash...

or even posibly give them a better deal if they would swap the parts....
very easy if your just removing the stock suspension and bolting it up on your car.. rather than take the suspension strut assembly apart and back together.

spend a couple hours and do it yourself. did you install the lowering springs yourself? if not then find a do it yourself guide. i saw a couple shops in LA, look around for places that does brakes and tires, they usually do suspensions also.
