Lowering Spring Install?!?!
So I thought I got a nice deal on some RCE lowering Springs. They haven't come in yet but I called a shop for install (I have no garage, lift, talent).
The shop said it's labor intensive and just to swap the shocks it's $650!! Is that frickin' normal? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk |

Or spend less than 300 on tools and do it yourself in about 3 hours.

My experience:
-Toyota Dealer quoted $520 plus alignment (TRD springs). Service Advisor didn't recommend, FR-S is already low. -Independent shop $1080, "it will take all day" -Craigslist $160 -Mechanic, friend of friend - $200 at his house. -Tuner shop $350, includes alignment. Will go to Tuner, lets see how it goes... BTW If I had a garage or ample street parking, I will do it myself. |
