Default Install meet

I was wondering if anyone local could give me a hand installing some s-tech springs and shocks. Though I don't know which shocks yet. I'll buy you lunch and do most of the work. I just don't want to mess up a car with 3,000 miles on it.
2007 Scion TC 5-speed. I'm in Whittier so LA/Orange county.

Alright. I'm ordering the springs monday $169.00 but I still don't know which shocks yet. I'll order those as soon as I find out and hopefully have everything by thursday ready for maybe a Sat install. Is that cool?

I thought about the TRD but I don't think I will be happy with the drop (not enough). I'm going with the S-Tech. I wanted a decent ride. The most I'll be doing is 1/4 mile runs, but I also want a ok ride for everyday driving and something to last.

You don't really need shocks now since you practically
have a brand new car.

Wait til' they blow and invest in them.

I've had my Tanabe DF210's for over 15K or more miles
and I still haven't blown my stock struts/shocks.
