I have a 06 scion xb and i'm hoping to install df210s on them. I went to a local motorsport shop and the guy said it will cost 700 dollars to install em. Is this how much it usually costs to drop a car? or is this guy ripping me off? and also, i live in los angeles and I dont have the resources to install the springs my self so any recommendations of shops that could do these kinda jobs at a fair price would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

 

Dude! That's wayyyyy too much! Find someone on here, in your area of course, that can help you out!

 

Will someone in the area help this guy.

 

DUDE 200 at the MOST.... i paid 100..... or u can do em urself.... i heard it aint too hard

 

The guy recommended tein springs so without knowing anything about those springs i thought they were expensive springs which might be why it was so expensive..I did some research online and it seems the springs are under 200 dollars. So yeah..the guy was trying to rip me off...I wish i can install em my self but I have no automobile knowledge or the tools...sucks...

 

theres a million post on here with great step by step and pics just use that search button. the back seriously like 20 mins tops to do and this is with standard toold and your average floor jack nothing fancy

 

I'd do it for a half rack of beer and a pizza if you were near me. But you can do it with a $25.00 tool kit from Autozone, the stock jack, and the Tech write up on here.

 

$700?!?! That's outrageous!

Go to Autozone and rent the spring compressor (they'll charge you 30 bucks or so and refund the money when you bring the tool back)

It really shouldn't take you too long to do yourself.

 

thx for all the responses guys, I think I will install em myself...so ill be going to pepboys soon to get some tools I need. Hopefully i wont break anything...*sigh

 

gl it is not that hard

 

tools needed:

jack
tire iron
wrenches
spring compressor
arms
brain

Good Luck

 

forgot jack stands^^^^

 

not if you do one at a time O_o

 

still I would not wanna roll the dice....

 

I used 2 floor jacks to do mine. Also remember to lower down the box on the floor fully before the final tightening of the 3 upper strut bolts.
The first time might take 2 hrs. but after that you will be a pro.

 

damn 700 thats way to much hahaha im in riverside man and i know a good shop out here but its still a ways away....ide just do them myself.....it not hard at all i did friends xb and it was cake...im bout to do mine soon i hope..Good Luck..

 

He might also consider joining a Scion club. We often have install parties to take care of the noob mod lists.

 

Brothah what shop in LA told you $700? Those _______s!
Buy a set of Teins or Tanabes from a reputable internet store if you can find em cheap and have it installed at Legends Motorsports in Cerritos (562)860-9804. $80 install ask for Abe.
Good Luck!

 

that is the way......
