Default Spring installation in the Dulles, VA area?

Can anyone in the Dulles, VA area recommend a good place to get some TRD springs installed on my tC? I called my dealer in Leesburg and they quoted me over $600! I was just like wtf? and the guy starts rambling on about how "it's a complicated job! you have to rip the whole rear end apart, and you have to take out the back seats, and...." and I was just like thanks anyway!

I'm new to the area, and I don't really know where to go. or, if any of you guys who live around here are good with that stuff, maybe you could even earn some dough?

Like I said, try calling www.redshiftdc.com and tell them dan with the tc sent you...or option b, call www.promotiontuning.com ...its about a 45 minute drive but they offer excellent service and have low prices as well. tell them i sent you as well ;)

doh. redshift wants $210 for the install, without the realignment. that's still gonna put me around $300 just to get these things on! and promotiontuning is just too far to go since I'll have to have someone cart me around in the mean time.

ok, so I called promotion tuning anyway and they want $175, but they also don't do alignments. but, the guy I spoke to, I think it was Chris T, said I probably won't need realigned since they're TRD springs? I thought I did. an anyone verify either way?


does anyone know of any small private garages worth going to? doesn't have to be a performance shop, right?

you can alwasy try it yourself, its the cheapest, all you need is a jack and the spring compression tool they let you borrow at advanced auto parts, also obviously some sort of rachet set, and a buddy to help is always nice to have
