Oh boy...sometimes you should just leave things to the experts....and sometimes the experts want to charge you $1300 for the install. That's when you decide that you want to do it yourself, and if you are me, you realize that you should have put up the cash.....not because jyou goofed it up, but for lack of aggrivation.

TRD Springs - $160
TRD Shocks - $460
Manual Spring Compressors - $35
Jack and Stands - $40 (on sale)
Spesnding NINE (9) hours installing your springs cause your a retard (lol) Priceless

yeah. me and my friend started at 2:00pm and ended at 1:00am with a break for dinner.

BUT HEY!!!!! The car rides awesome now.....and I'm $1300 richer than I would have been

It's always a pain your first time. I bet you can do em in an hour if you had to do it again.
