Update: install complete. 500 labor charge. its more than i would have like to pay, but what are you gonna do. Its tuff to find a good mechanic these days.

performance wise, haven't really pushed it yet, but immediate difference over stock (worn out) shocks. Lift and dive nearly eliminated. Steering and turning/cornering much crisper. Ride not harsh at all. Reminds me of when i first put the eibachs on, with the stock shocks. potholes make for a stiff travel, but other than that, rides great.

ps. Eibach pro kit+ trd strut/shocks on 17s makes PERFECT cosmetic drop. Wheel gap almost nonexistent. still plenty of clearance while wheels are turned though.

all in all, i'm definitely happy. just with i didn't drop a grand on parts and labor.

this can probably be locked now.

ouch, glad you have the money tho. If you live near Phili im more than possitive that there were some good shops in your area. Anything else installed, call around and get OTHER quotes.
