i got my JICs installed for 95 bucks flat, no tax :lol: they even set everything up too. I think you should trust them if they have a good rep and are recommended by others

Where are you guys going to get these things installed so cheap? You must know people... Any tips for when I go to get my tokico/tien combo installed? I will gut my rear seat beforehand. Should I stay away from big name franchise based auto service companies and go with a local mom & pop? Sorry for straying slightly o/t.

I just wish they would produce a EDFC that would work with them. Even if it ment having to redo the rear i would do it for that option. :(

places range.

there is no flat rate installation in ca nor elsewhere.

it would be good, if you carefully watch how the installer does it, but also becareful not to interfere with the installer.

the name of the shop where i got the suspension is Car Image and Gifts, just ask for Kit. He's over on Lawrence and Sheridan. E-mail me if you have any questions.
