Lowering My 2.0 XB !?
I'm looking to lower my XB. I have only called one place and they will do it for $550 
and takes a half day (Les Swabs). I'm sure the other tire dealers do it around here, I will call and see what they charge.
Hopefully I can hook up with EVILDAVE on Sunday (Capitol Toyota Meet) and he can steer me in the right direction. I would like to do it myself but I have no tools and I would probably screw it up somehow.
I live in Livermore, CA. So if you install springs or knows where I can go for an install. Let me know!
$550 plus tax is sort of insane for a 1.4 drop all the way around (HNR) ...... I thought 1.5 Front - 1.7 rear or vice versa was the norm. I'm also running 18' Motegi's....
Thanks!!

$65 + 30min = Gabe @ precisionmuffler.com = Milpitas, CA
that's like a 20~30min drive or something for you. Gabe is awesome and runs a great shop. He happens to be a sponsor for this site as well. Look him up

If you have a jack, jack stands and basic tools, you can do it in your driveway in an hour. I've done a few, Ken has, and so has bBTed I think. Or you can go to a shop, say like Auto Innovations, pay them an hour's labor rate and be done in less than an hour.

It's done!
Gabe @ precisionmuffler.com did the install in about 45 minutes or less. He's going to install a carbon fiber hood on my XB at the Capitol Toyota meet on Sunday.
A big thanks to Dave and Gabe!
