Anyone know how much it costs to lower it? Im sure it ranges from place to place but just a ball park deal for everything with labor, parts etc. Thanks!

Got my tC lowered for $300. That includes the parts (TRD springs)install, and labor. Took them a little over 2 hours to do it.

On the 2008 with the Premium radio this is what you do:

1. Turn radio completly off
2. Hold down menu button
3. FIrst option deals with the color, just push in the scroll and it changes.

Was just lookin at your car in another thread. You got it lowered right, with TRD?


I almost got the pedestal spoiler but they didnt have any and my parents thought it was going to impede my view in the back. So i got the lip spoiler since one was on the lot and love it. Cant go wrong with it.

Yup, TRD's may not be the lowest drop, but I like the looks.

I'd you recommend you not get any parts from the dealership. You can find much better prices elsewhere.

Yeah wasnt planning on it unless the prices were like 10 dollars more for the dealer, which in that case I would get it from them...

Anywho, sorry for all the questions but does adding springs or any parts yourself void your warrenty?

Just don't get your springs installed at the dealership...they will definitely rip you off. I was told the dealer would take 10 hours to install them for $650-$700....then I still would have to get an alignment and pay for that.

650-700 bucks ? sheeesh.. Thats insane. Scions pure pricing does include accessories as well. For the springs and the install it was 425.00 And yeah there are less expensive options, but if, notice I said if.. anything was to ever go wrong for whatever reason, the parts AND labor are covered under the Scion warrenty 3/36 or in my case 7/100 so it just made sense. Plus my dealer worked with me very closly when it came to alignment, the tech was very interested in how I drive the car, basically threw the specs out the window. Now I might run through tires a bit faster BUT DAMN... this thing handles....

[quote="benmlb12935"]Thanks guys....

I wanna get the s2000 Antenna, seems to be the first and most popular mod, and cheapest. Should I got for eBay for that or to a Honda Dealership?

I just went to the dealership and it was like $26.......Honda knows we are coming and is amazed toyota has not put the stubby ones on by now...........or at least sell them to us there.think it was mazdas that were coming there to get them for the M6 or something like that too.....
