Shop that will install my aftermarket springs? (Charlotte, NC)

Just recently had a set of Hotchkis springs delivered, and I've been trying to find a shop that will install them for me. I know the dealership won't even touch aftermarket parts, and so far I've called three different shops and gotten the same response from all of them: "We don't install customer-supplied parts." I understand why most shops have this rule but it doesn't help me. Does anyone know a shop around the Charlotte area that will install these springs, preferably one that has a good reputation?

And before you tell me "Bro it's so easy to install springs, just follow this DIY tutorial.", I haven't got the tools, experience, and quite frankly the balls to attempt a job like this. My only other option is to have find some random guy on facebook or something who will do it.

You can try @Carolina Dyno, out of Wilmington. I know they do a lot of tuning and whatnot, maybe they can do a spring install for you as well.

That would probably work best since the springs I have are Hotchkis so I know they'll install them. Thanks so much!
