Default Los Angeles area spring install

Yes, I searched. No, I coudln't find anything.

I'm just looking for someone reliable, or a reliable shop, that can install the trd springs on my tc and hopefully for a lot cheaper than what the dealer quoted me . i live like 2 miles from downtown l.a.

anyone please? thanks.

Contact Island Motorsports. THey deal with tons of Scions including tC's. I highly sugggest them as alot of Scion Evolution members go there for their spring installs. Here is the number (714) 522-7457. They are in Buena Park so its sorta a drive for you but its worth it cause they know what they are doing and wont mess up.

that definitely sounds like what i'm looking for. the last thing i want is to go to a place that has never installed on a tC before. plus, it's not that much of a drive. thanks, i'm going to give them a call.

yeah it does. You can either remove it yourself or they can do it for you. They wont charge extra to remove the bazooka tube.

Hmm, how much do you guys say front/rear sway bars + spring install would cost? I hear the front sway bar is a pain to remove which is going to definitely raise the price.

Springs and rear sway bar installed, youre looking at around $120, but Ill have to see the layout on the front. If you are ever in the area, feel free to stop by, i would tell you right away.
