Default Phoenix lowering spring help

I picked up some lowering springs from eBay for 35 bucks. I know they aren't name brand, but 35 dollars, so moving forward. I have not done something this involved, but would love to find someone who knows how who would e willing to install them/at least let me follow along. Only been to one shop and they quoted me 200 bucks. 35 dollar springs for 200 dollars install doesn't work for me. Any information would help.

Yea. 200 seemed like a ripoff. One of my frs buddies have me his friends name at one of the Toyota/scion dealerships here. Said they will install non trd parts and he would help me out since its a friend. Still asking around to see what the "norm" is. Not happening till after my vacation, but it never hurts to look right?

If you haven't had this done yet, let me know. I live in Mesa and we can swap them in the driveway. You WILL need an alignment afterwards.
