THAT IS INCREDIBLY STEAP!. STEAP DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HOW STEAP THAT PRICE IS! THEY'RE RIPPING YOU OFF SICKLY! And plus, i think that the GOLDLINE springs and/or the SPY Springs are helluva lot better than those TRDS and are significantly cheaper than what the dealership is selling it to you as.

I think the cost of the trd 1" springs would normally run you about $150-160 at most places. And then, maybe $50 bucks for someone to install it for you. $700 is INSANE. Screw that dude.

Where are you located (East Coast or Westcoast)? You might as well bend over and be prepared to take it up the rear if you pay that price. That beyond unreasonalble.

One of the better dealers in our area advertises $369 installed, which is about right for what should be about a one hour job.

If your dealership wants $7000 they're (a) trying to rip you off, or (b) so incompetent they'll actually run up $500 in labor and shop time trying to get 'em on. Either way it's not a happy thought ...

I live in Northwest Arkansas, they just arrived in this part of the USA about 20 days ago. But here are the exact e-mail :

"As far as the TRD Accessories….the 18” Wheels w/ Pirelli tires would be $1826.80 installed and the Lowering Springs would be $727.70 installed. Please let me know if I can provide any more information or answer any questions."

Maybe that includes the shocks and struts? Can't be just for the springs.

Perhaps the $700 fee includes all you can eat shrimp at red lobster, gas for a month, and a 2 night stay at a nice hotel? Other than that I'm stumped :?
