Well i ended up getting them installed my a shop. They did it for 200 bucks plus 80 bucks for an alignment so it wasnt 2 much. I did take out the rear seats and everything myself to save on labor. Springs and struts are awsome tho. Soooooo stoaked. I will post pics soon..

$80 for 4 corner is cheap

took me about 5 hours to fininsh all 4 corner, but again, i don't have any power tool. and the back strut is a bitch becuase i have to take off everything on it's way to get to the strut mount bolts.

I just did mine. Not to bad. I would have hoped that Toyota would have come up with a better solution to getting to the rear struts than to remove all the interior out of the back half of the car but oh well.

Not a beginner project, but still doable by someone who knows their way around cars a bit.

Tomorrow, I am getting a four wheel alignment.

Yea i was gonna do it myself. I went and rented the spring compressor and everything. But right after i did my buddy bailed out on me. And i didn't feel like doing the whole project on my own. So i decided to just get it done by a shop. It was outrageous because some places wanted to charge 500 bucks, so i wasn't mad about paying 200 to get them in.
