Default Spring install in LI/NYC? Recommendations please.

I'd like to order the TRD lowering springs/RSB combo from either McGeorge or TRDSparks, but before I do, I'd like to know what I might reasonably expect to pay to have them installed (or maybe just the springs, as I guess I can do the RSB myself). I've seen quotes posted here ranging from $100 (independent shop) to $600+ (dealer). I guess I can start calling places for quotes, but i still won't be able to know if the shop is good or not or reputable at all. So, I figured this would be the best place to get some solid recommendations!

I would be willing to go pretty much anywhere in Queens/Brooklyn & Nassau/Suffolk (preferred), but heading up to Westchester wouldn't be out of the question either.

I'd be willing to pay more to have it done right, but saving a penny or two isn't such a bad idea either. So if anyone can recommend a place and better yet, also quote a price from experience, you'd save me a lot of time and worry.

BTW, rear sway install seems like a pretty easy driveway install, no?

Thanks.

Okay, springs and RSB have been ordered and shipped. Should be here hopefully by the end of the week. Now I just need a shop to install...

Anyone...?

go to www.scionevolution.org/forum to the queens chapter and see if any of them have installed them b4. if u cant find a good price, then drive to chicago, go on vacation, come for Battle Of The Imports and have ur springs installed for free.
that outta be about the same w/ gas and all for what dealers charge.
ive been out of ny for to long :'-(
but theres always the junkyards by shea. u determine what u want to pay and find the place that will do it for that much

Hey, just to update. Got my TRD springs installed today and I love the subtle but noticeable drop and combined with the rear sway, the much improved ride and handling.

Special thanks go out to nd4spd_4_a_tc for the install, and if you need an install in the area, definitely inquire with Ryan. Quality work and a really cool guy to deal with. This was an install I wouldn't wanna try myself since I have no experience with springs.
