I just picked up an 09 Xb on Thursday and bought a set of lowering springs at the same time. I'm located in Orange County, CA and am having a hard time finding a reasonably priced installer for the springs. I've been quoted anywhere from $300 to $900 for install! Can anyone recommend a good shop that I can hopefully find a reasonable install price at? I was hoping to get them installed in the next few days. Thanks for any help!

 

check ur regional section...u might get better advice in which one to go to imo

 

if u want the best work done go with project import located in anaheim got all my stuff done there great work and great guys>?</.

 

You could always find a friend to help you out, or maybe you could make a friend here on the Scion forums. Just check out your regional section, and they might help you do it for free, or for a reasonable price.

 

Go to Island Motor Sports in Buena Park. We have work on tons of xB's and would be more than happy to help you. Here is our number, (714) 522-7457.

 

Aerodyne Industries in Garden Grove on Trask between Euclid and Brookhurst. I highly doubt they'd quote you 300. Thats absurd..... They helped R&D for my Cusco's... I highly recommend them... plus u can look at all the turbos' and cars they are building there..... two top secret supra's and the Takata NSX are currently over there.

 

Awesome, I'll make a few calls tomorrow and see what I can find out. Thanks for the help!

 

yeh, i also recommend Island Motorsports in Buena Park. they do quick and great work for a reasonable price

 

hey my buddy just bought an 09 xb 2 weeks ago, ordered the springs that night on ebay and 4 days later was at a shop that charged him like $80 to install them. it only took them about 1 hour once they started on it. i'll hit him up tomorrow and get the name for you. i think it was in the city of industry. is that cool for you?

 

hey i got that name and number for you, i hope this helps. Autohaus in the city of industry. phone number is 626-912-7499, should be about $80 if you have your own springs and takes about 1-2 hours. you can make an appt. and wait for it. afetr that just ride around for a few weeks to let them settle, then go get it re-aligned

 

i installed mine im rolling on hotchkis. I'll install urs 4 u for $150 and a 12pak im in Buena Park.

 

i dont know what your tool and space situation is like but find a DIY on the install on here print it out yourself and install it yourserlf. I think its work it doing it yourself i get to know your car and you develope knowledge of ur xb. about 98% of my installs i did myself and this is the 1st really project car that ive done ever. it makes me proud when people ask who installed ur whatever i can say i did it myself. the only thing i didnt do was the tint on the rwo front windows and paint my lip kit, but i did help in the installation.

even if you had the tools and space id be happy to cruise over and help guide u through it

 

I say do it yourself too, just tackled mine and it was fun. As long as have a good sense of humor about it the first time will be fun. The DIY is almost idiot proof.

 

I have installed 3 different sets of springs on my xB (finally got the perfect ones). It's a pretty simple process (if your Mechanically in-tune) if not ...Island Motor Sports would definitely help you out.

 

pm 06scioxb he'll get you the best prices way below shop prices

 

^X2

 

Island Motorsports FTW!!! That or wait for someone to have a tech day.......Patience is a virtue......

 

i say do it urself man or have a friend help u u learn more that way its not to hard to mess up man good luck on ur install[/img]

 

i would actually recommend my team member AcidDrop. try Pm'ing him. he did my springs and a lot of others out there. check him out on SL

 

DIY FTW!
