Someone install my springs

I have a set of swift springs i need installed on my Evo and an alignment. I work 7 days a week for the next few months so i can't do the job myself it myself. Anyone got recomendations on where to get it done. I called two shops and they wont touch lowering springs and a third wanted $579 for the job.

Any pointers here ppl?

In the 08822 area

OK, got nearly all the work done (friend and me).

Here's the final question:

When doing an alignment, what specs do i need to account for? It looks like i can only adjust toe??

From AMS's website:

Beginner to Intermediate driver
# Front Toe – zero
# Front Camber -2.0 deg (max neg camber on stock offset bolts)
# Rear Toe – 1/16” in
# Rear Camber -1.25 deg

Experienced driver
# Front Toe – 1/16” to 1/8” toe out (please be aware that toe out on the front will let the car wander a little on the road)
# Front Camber – 2 deg (more neg front toe makes the front more darty but improves turn-in & cornering characteristics of the car)
# Rear Toe - Zero to 1/32” toe out
# Rear Camber -1.5 deg (zero toe or slight toe out lets the rear of the car move around a little more but improves mid-corner and especially corner exit handling characteristics of the EVO. This will increase the tendency of the car to oversteer, recommended for experienced drivers.)
