 I'd say go to a Customs Shop or a Body Shop.
Or I'd say to do it yourself. Really super easy.

 a reputable tuner shop should be able to do it for under $200 and take no more than 2 hours.

 Just shop around a few different places before you decide on one. I do this with everything I buy, not just stuff for my car, and while it sucks because it might take a little longer to find good quality at a good price, it's totally worth it in the end.

 Hey everyone! Im new to the forum. Im lowering my Tc tonight. I got the springs and the compressor already. I've helped a few of my friends lower their cars before but never a Tc. I was wondering if there was anything I needed to know before getting in there? THanks in advance!
