Honestly...you don't have a socket wrench kit?...

That is all you need to do springs and shocks...
and stop by your closest automotive store to pick up spring compressors...

 

$100 for my Hotchkis springs install and $80 for my TRD shocks install both from a local shop.

 

a friend of mine and i put mine on in about an hour. So I paid nothing. Of course dealerships are going to way overcharge people, it's just what they do.

 

just give me 500 and i will fly to Montana and do it for you!

 

I paid 2 cases of beer to get my springs, struts and front and rear sways installed.

 

unfortunately - i dont think they dealership will take beer for payment.

lol, what if the world's currency was beer.

but seriously, even my salesman @ the dealer said it was ridiculous(good family friend) and he told me to go somewhere else. I am going to the ONLY shop in town that will do it. But i am very confident that they know what they are doing, they usually do a couple tricked out show cars per year so....

but they have not worked on a tc, but the 1st gen Box they did came out very nice!

i crapped in my pants a bit when the stupid tech told me 700 bucks i was expecting a pricey install but 700 is just LUDACRIS! i have waited 2 months for my wheels to get here and now they can finally go on! Wednesday the 16th is judgement day

 

Please do not pay 700 to get springs put on O_o

 

yeah i thought i made it clear that i wasnt going to pay that, i found somewhere that will put my springs in, remount my wheels and tires with the TPS monitors, and put my new taillights and headlights(if they get here in time) all for around 250 - they said it wouldnt be more than 250, and i told the dealership that, and they gave me the blah blah blah if you get it installed here it would be warrantied unter toyota.

i proceded to tell them that this is only temporary, let me save my pennies for a bit and the sport coilovers are mine, so i have been looking at them, but i dont know which ones i want to get.

TRD, H&R, TEIN, there are so many of them, but im kinda partial to TEIN, thats what my springs are...

 

It really isn't a bad install... and if you don't have tools, it's a great project to buy tools for as you'll check quite a few off your list for future ones...

Socket set
Floor jack/jack stands
Torque wrench
Wrench set

Maybe a breaker bar? Then rent yourself a spring compressor and go to town!

 

i paid $200 to get my springs and sway bar installed. stealerships are just insane with their prices!

 

i paid like 300 only for installing the tires and alligment at the goodyear,,,

 

cost me a pizza and beer to do my springs, and my wheels put on :D

 

Atleast yalls dealership will give you an estimate. Servco Hawaii will not do anything suspension, or any TRD part they didnt sell...

 

buy spring compressors, and install them yourself. its simple.

 

paid $120 for my trd spring install. The place does a lot of work for tcs so they seemed pretty safe

 

$Free.99

 

$250 damn thats pretty good. I happen to know someone at a delaership who did mine on the side for $100. $250 is still not bad.

 

my dealer wanted to charge me 600 dollars to put springs on 95 dollars and hour labor 1.5 hours on each wheel now tell me they are not dicking around

 

i paid around 20 dollars... yeah pretty cheap huh? haha well i did it myself but i had someone at my work help me with the spring compressor cause i didnt want to shoot a spring across the shop haha... ill tell you though... the hardest part about doing the springs was dealing with the plastics

 

I got a quote from two local dealers for just spring installation. One said that it would void my warrenty and that they couldn't do it. Then the other said $400. I figure that it would be cheaper (and easier) to get someone to help out, concidering that spring compressor rental at autozone was about $40.
