Where Can I Go For???
#2
Any place that works with suspension but it won't be cheap. there's alot of shops that can do it. Pepboys, advance auto if they have the mechanic section and the ones you named except not sure about jiffylube. If you know of any friends that could help/show you, that would be great. I just recently put springs and steeda caster and camber plates on a friends car.

I was told by Pep Boys that springs would be over $200 to install. They look at the price for removal and replacement of shocks and struts to come up with the spring install. As for the CC plates, a couple of places told me they would do it as an hourly rate job, so probably $75 for that.
I did it all myself, and it's really easy. You do not need a spring compressor or anything like that. Get some sockets, a couple of jack stands, and a jack. You'll use the jack under the suspension and after you loosen everything up, you'll lower the jack which releases the tension on the springs. You can then pull them out. There's a lot of writeups on this, even with pics. If you had no tools at all, you can go buy a nice hydraulic jack, jack stands, new sockets and everything for probably less than half of what any shop would charge.
It's a lot more rewarding to say that you did it youself. Anytime I buy something for my car, I tell my wife how much I'll save on installing it myself instead of telling her how much the parts cost. Too bad that won't work with a new SC though.

Definately look into trying this yourself. You'll save yourself a boatload and learn about your car as you go. I did it with a friend of mine and didn't have any problems.
This is a pretty good write up and what we used to do the install:
