I would install the coils first and wait a few days for the springs to settle, then get an alignment.

Right but if you don't let your springs settle, they will wear fast after the alignment too lol

You can try West End Alignment in Gardena. Speak to Chris.
One of the best alignment and corner-balancing shops in LA, hands down.
They've done three of my cars over the years and do install suspension components.

If you are installing coil-overs, you have the option of corner-balancing the car for optimized handling. Depends on your goals...

If he has to drive even 20 miles to get his alignment done they will be plenty settled by the time he gets there.

FenderDefender used to be in the OC but think their shop moved to Irwindale if you're willing to make the drive

Corner 3 Garage in Laguna Hills does coilover installs and does alignments with the machine made for slammed cars.
