how much would it cost for labor to drop? i am thinkin bout getting TRD lowering springs because i plan on getting a lip kit or somehting later on. i was just wondering how much they charge to do it? or is it possible to do it urself? lol WTB: spring compressor JK!

 

150-200 depends where you take it to get your car drop.

 

I paid $255 and they also installed my rear sway bar!

 

is there any way to get around this? lol..

 

post up in the regionals and someone could probably do it for like 40 or 50 bucks. That's what I did...

 

where do u live. if u live in so cal ill be willing to help if you have all the tools

 

DIY!! it's very easy, but time consuming! If you're in socal, i might be able to do it for you for $50...

 

I charge $80..if u come to San Diego!

 

lool i live in houston texas.

 

yeah i wouldn't charge less than 200, because of the crap i went through doing mine.

 

$200?....lol...u crazy!...then again if I had a car business then yea...lol

I have done 3 solo spring installs...and assisted in 5 other installs...
I got it down to 3-4 hours ..using just hand tools!...No airtools

 

get rent some spring compressors and jack up your car, and get dirty. unless you have hotchkis, it should be doable.

 

^ Don't use a dumb Spring Compresser crap...those are worthless and waste time in mess'in w/ them..

 

i know for sure there was no way mine weren't going on without a spring compressor...

and i didn't want to shoot some bolt into the wilderness never to be seen again when removing the stock ones...

 

my car looks like a monster truck, i wish i had money

 

why would you not use a spring compressor????!!

Ive done 6 installs by myself on the tc alone, my last one being this last saturday, took me 2.5 hours to do it. AND I used spring compressors, theres no other way I would do this, ud be stupid not to use them

 

I paid $120 for them to pull my stechs off my 05 struts (off car) and install them on the 08 (they did all the work on the 0. Oh and they installed the 08 springs on the 05 struts.

 

retarded comment.

Do it yourself man, here is a brief break down.

- remove your windshield cowl, wheels, and trunk interior panels so you can access the strut bolts.
- jack the car up and place on jack stands
- remove the struts
- remove the spring from the strut (you can use a spring compressor if you wish... there are other ways of doing it to not use it, but to cover my **** from something hurting themself and saying i told them to do it, ill refrain from posting it)
- compress the new spring via spring compressors and put them on the strut
- reinstall everything

i let out stuff... but thats the basic idea. do it yourself man, its pretty cake.

 

im in houston.. i know how... so does ed(tctaco) its pretty easy to do urself. but if u wanna pay to do it. ASAARacing does it and they charge 120.
