Default prices for lowering spring install

does anyone know of any shops in the 951 (inland empire) area that has good prices on installing lowering springs?? i visited a few shops around my city but they all told me around $450??....... i dunno about you guys, but that seems kinda high for me. majority of them said it would take 7 hrs.

have 06scionxB do it if you can go to baldwin park, does a good job and definately wouldn't take 7 hours. i remember installing lowering springs on someone's tC with him a while back...the guy had loctite on his lug nuts because the shop that installed his wheels thought it was ok to put loctite there for some reason.

even with that complication it still didn't take 7 hours haha. i don't remember but i think it took more like an hour to two hours.

doesn't sound so convincing. not trying to say you can't do it, but type with a little bit more confidence bro.
