Installing TRD springs 04 solara

[cydog3]

I bought trd springs for my 04 solara sport v6, I called my dealer as I was told the dealer had to install them to not void the warranty they want 250 to install the front and 250 for the rear are they f'in crazy lol.. This seems real high to me is it ?


Anyone know a good tuner shop in MA ?

well if you dont want to void the warranty, i suggest you go that route... but yes that is high and thats how dealers get you *cha-ching* for them!

have you looked into what the process is for the install? on the earlier Gens, for the rears, we have to remove the back seats... depending on how much labor you can price it yourself

good luck!

They said it's so much because they have to take the struts out to get the springs out . Hmmm decisions decisions

i paid $100 for my struts and springs for install

DO you have an 04 ? was it done at the dealer ?

haha what bullshit... all the shops have to take the struts out to get the springs out... and they charge a lot less.

Isn't there the Moss act or whatever in the States? I wouldn't worry about getting it done else where if I were you.

as long as i get them installed by Toyota, can i go to any dealer for warranty work if needed?

my dealer wants too much, and i know i can get it done cheaper at another one....

Thats BS. Reguardless, your struts are going to blow due to the lowering springs..ask them if your warantee would cover the struts as well.

ICrazyChrisI : Yea they will warranty the struts if they go ,I asked that also. TRD and My dealer both said changing the shocks are not needed on the sport model. Now if you don't have the sport then yes they have to be changed

[ICrazyChrisI]

I wonder what the difference is..

Heres an email I got from TRD

Thank you for your interest in TRD. Yes, the sport shocks are compatible with the TRD lowering springs. If you feel that the ride is fairly stiff with the stock setup the TRD springs will make it feel a bit more stiffer because of lowering.

We don't have an ETA for a supercharger at this time.

Here's a list of TRD parts for the 04 Solara:

Sport Muffler
Lowering Springs
Drop-in Air Filter
Front Strut Brace
18" Wheel/Tire Set

Please contact your local Toyota dealer for pricing.

Just try to get quote from many dealers if you insist to keep warranty. Basiclly they just estimate how many hour it will take them to do the job. At other speed shops/wheel shops should run from 100-150 install.
