$ NEED HELP INSTALLING TRD LOWERING SPRINGS $

Chris doesn't have a Scion anymore, he got a WRX. I thought he was taking a break from working on Scions?

Hah. I have done more spring installs than that shop has I can almost guarantee it. Nothing has ever gone wrong, many members can attest. Everyone of them can call me at anytime if they think they have a problem.

I never say it was hard, is just time consuming n some ppl would rather put up the $100 then do it themselves.

Why pay $100 when you can get it done from less and even learn a thing or two

after I saw him do the rears on my tC, I dont even think I would want to do them myself

him and his buddy had my s Techs slammed on in 45 mins. they work hella fast

Hah. That's from a while ago! We had them on in no time, that was some quick working. Although we now learned that $50 is too cheap for that much labor, but our current price is very competitive.

That would explain why the dealer would charge, though the price the OP posted seems ridiculous.

What about a regular shop, assuming they'd get it right, anyone know what might be a normal charge on a spring install?
(yes, I know there's been some mention of it, any others?)
