Dale's Alignment in Langley is my suggestion. They can even do an alignment after they're done.

So you've got them in your garage, but not on your car yet?
Looking for a place to get them installed?

Get some rope and tie the spring coils together which will act like a spring compressor

But if you don't want to risk it, God knows how close I was to taking out my face a few times, you can always bring it to Jason @ Dale's.
