Default AZ Dealers Doc Fees and TRD installation charges?

I've did a search on this and most of the info was a couple of years old so I was wondering if any of you guys know what the dealers in Phoneix and south of there charge in Doc Fees and TRD spring installation. I might be moving out there later this year and I want to get a idea about the dealers. PHX and south of there. Thanks

I don't want a big drop. I care about day to day driving and handling. I don't want to hear that scrapping sound every time I turn into a drive way or go over a speed bump. I use to have a prelude that I dropped too much. Never again. Do you know want the tuner shops in southern AZ charge for parts and labor on a moderate drop. Or rather I should say what do you charge since it looks like you have got a bit of experience in this type of thing. Any particular springs that you would suggest for a moderate drop of about 1.5" for a daily driver?

Here is a link to Camelback Scions pricing for parts and installation.

Good luck and if you move here have fun but watch out for the heat.

I carry the Goldline 2" springs. You will have zero rubbing or scraping issues.
The springs run $180. Installation for xA/xB is $50, tC is a little more.
You can't beat that with a bat!

If you are going to be in the West Valley, or even if you have to drive a little, you cannot beat Randode's prices. Not to mention, he has lowered 106 scions. xAs, xBs and tcs.

If you've got a tC and don't want a low drop, DONT GET THE TEIN S-TECHS, 3" drop after sag .

Randode with your prices if I move out their later this year I will definitely be coming to see you. But that 2 inch drop sounds pretty low after especially after they settle down but the stock xD did seem a bit jacked up when I saw it at the car show here. Those goldlines have got to be murder on the shocks. How much do they shorten the life of the stock shocks?

I got 22,000 out of my stock shocks with a 2" drop.
and the Goldlines have a no sag warranty.
