Question Houston/Austin - Shop to install H&R springs?

Not having much luck finding a shop to install springs and spacers. Any help would be appreciated.

I just made an appointment at Soul Speed Performance in South Austin to install lowering springs. Will be my first time using them, but seem to have great reviews and are well-versed in BMWs.

Got a funny story about them. They lowered my Audi years ago with no issues and so I went back for my 2016 BMW X6 a few years later and they did that one too, picked it up in Austin and drove 2 hours back. A bit later, they called me and said that they "think" they forgot to retighten a bolt. I forget exactly what bolt it was, but they were relieved I got home without my wheels falling off. They insisted on refunding my money and told me to go to a local shop. The local shop took my wheels off and said they were just barely hanging on. Again, I don't remember exactly what they forgot to tighten but that sure was a close call apparently

Holy hell!! That’s comforting. Glad you and your ride were alright. I’m not sure of many other options in the Austin area, unfortunately. Pfluggerville is a bit of a trek.

I know this is an old post but why would they tell him to drive it once again, somewhere else, to have someone else check? Seems like a bad idea if you know you forgot to tighten a bolt you’d probably want to recommend that he have it towed to a shop. Not driven some more and then be told that it was “barely hanging on” holy hell is right
