lowering spring install
This seems pretty outrageous and just had to share... I've always intended to do the install myself, I was just curious to see how much a certain shop would charge. No joke... $1098.13!! All labor... I always like getting quotes like this to remind me of why I do the work myself.

Before I went down to darrendriven's house in Portland I went to Toyota for a quote. 10 hours. 2.5 a corner. When he told me that I laughed and walked out. Darren did it with jacks in 53 minutes!

(I'm not NW, just searched lowering springs and this was most recent post)
Similar experience. Just got back from the dealership for service boost work. I previously bought TRD springs from them for $235, which seemed decent. Asked them to install springs at the same time as oil change and whatnot. I guess they didn't want to do it. Gave a quote of $1175.15. I LOL'd and said no. |

Trd springs
I'm a service advisor at Lexus and I checked the labor time on the install it is 7.5 hours but it really takes a master tech about 3 hours including the alignment. Don't know why it is so much labor but it is. The only part that is a pain in the ass is compressing the springs. I am going to do mine myself and save the money just wander if I should just do a coil over set instead?

I use one of these, and it saves SO MUCH time setting toe compared to actually using a string. It's paid for itself in times I've had to get out from under the car again and again and again: http://www.killertools.com/shop/shop...art903m-detail Time for a lift next...

I wish I had a garage to do custom alignments, but Im also not detail oriented enough to do it enough to warrant the tools anyway haha

Down in Eugene I got quotes ranging from $600 just for spring install, no alignment. Then I called the guy at the alignment shop, he quoted $340 with alignment. He said if I installed the springs he'd charge $85 for alignment. I think he will get the job.
