Springs...

[dan99solara]

For those of you who had your springs installed by a shop, how much did you pay?

[MGLax13]

I just searched and I cant find anything really....how much for the struts and the springs?

[thealkimo]

Eibach: $220
KYB GR-2: $360
Labor: $380
Total: $960

Worth it.

180 for eibach springs, 375 for tokico struts, 120 for install, 150 for lifetime alignment, + tax.

[WTF??]

i gotta find me some hook ups!!!

do0d you got jacked!

let me know next time if you wanna do sum maintenance or install stuff

[Mole]

shops can charge anywhere from as low as $75- above and beyond.

try doing the install by yourself. you will save loads of $$$ and gain valuable expirence.

then you can start charging other people for install.

IMO intalling a set of springs without the experience is not a good way to get it, those springs can kill you if you're not careful.

I'm going to get mine done:
$400 tokico shox
$250 Eibach springs
$250 Labor : This is taking into consideration that I'm going to remove all of the rear seats, and associated junk that the shop would have to remove and re-install to get to the top of the rear shock towers. the original quote was $400 labor, although this included installing a Rear Sway Bar as well.

BTW: Take a tire off, and loosen the exhaust to get the RSB in, otherwise its a Beeeyatch!!! (It was a pain in my butt to get it in anyway)

2000 SLEv6 TRD RSB (Why Toyota dosn't just put them in standard is beyond me) Shocks and springs : this Monday (if the UPS gods are prompt)

^actually, i got some experience with my car when i changed my suspension out myself. if you got a haynes manual, and got the copy of the blow up diagram we passed around a looong time ago, installation would be a snap!

it really wasn't as intimidating as i thought it would be.

You can get the Tokico Struts for $329 + $35 shipping / Vogtland Springs $172 + $25 shipping from Jack / I'm sure you can get the eibach springs much cheaper than that....

[FLASH]

I was charged $70 (their one hour rate) even tho it took them 4 and said it should have been $280 for the install. They owed me tho, and I'm happy i saved $210
