I am probably going to order some goldlines and I was wondering what a fair rate would be to get them installed? I know my dealer wanted like $350 to install the TRDs if I got them and I would imagine it would not take too long as it should only take about 1/2 an hour right?

 

shouldn't be more than a bill

 

there's instructions here.. you can do it yourself and save.....

Take your time and go step by step it shouldn't take long... key word, take your time..

 

An hour of shop time, Max. Dealer's tryin' to make up for "Pure Pricing" on the vehicle...

 

tpyical cost is about $70 at a shop and that is without a 4 wheel alignment which will be needed. an alignment will run between $50-$80.

if you do it at home, it will help if you have air tools. if you don't, then just have a shop do it.

 

talk to randode... 40 bucks i think still and 30 minutes

 

I do about 4 installs a week at $40- $50 each. It takes maybe 40 minutes.

 

he is in boston though.

 

Yeah I wish there was someone local to bring it to and the only place I can think of that would be familiar with this stuff is the local hydro shop but he is way too expensive so I am going to bring it to the guy down the street who just runs a small little junky garage and I can't see there being a way to really screw up the install so it should be fairly cheap also.

 

$80 tops and just go anywhere that sells rims. They usually do it.

rims, not tires. for some reason, shops that deal mainly in tires and maybe have 6 wheels in the window don't like to do spring installs.

good choice on the goldlines too. you'll love the look and feel

 

doh... didn't see that part... lol

 

Looks like you're in the same boat I am, OKI (I am in NH).
I should be getting my new wheels this week, and then I will be thinking about a 1.5" drop. The instructions here look reasonably easy. I may just try it myself. Did you end up going with town fair tire? They throw in a free alignment with wheel.tire combos, so maybe you could install the springs yourself and have them align it?
That may be what I am going to do...

 

I charge 50.00 to 60.00, Thay aren't available in my area , i hav e six installs under my belt. It doesn't take more than a hour, if you don't have to answer the phone or anything.

i can give you guys a great price in the northeast on Goldlines. Bill

 

I paid $120 flat for the install. Is that too much? Did not include an alignment. I had to bring to the dealership for the alignment. They were cool about it since they haven't aligned a lowered xB. Mad props to the dealership for taking care of the alignment. I'm wondering will they do an install for me when I purchase Hotchkis sway bar. Does any Scion dealerships know if you do install of sway bars?

 

If u have a garage or a nice place to work on , I would gadly help you install the springs as I live near Boston, MA. I've done strut/spring on my rx-7 and it's not too hard as long as you have more then one person, correct tools and spring/strut compressor.
