Isn't that the same thing, $40? $40 team-$40 install. I doubt they care about the team if all they want are free installs but who cares, it's only $40. Time is money. That's why I do one spring in half an hour and charge $50/hr

do you cut the bump stops on drops over 1.75"? i have seen it posted that it should be done to avoid bottoming out and possibly damaging the struts?
thanks a lot!

Anybody available this weekend for a spring install?
I've called the places around town and most of them have never ever heard of a Scion. So I'm a bit wary about a place that has no experience, not to mention they quoted me prices anywhere from 120-250 dollars just for a spring install! I just bought some Goldline springs for my xA and I happen to have the weekend off of work. I live in Fresno (central cal) and I'm willing to go North or South so if anybody could help me with a spring install I would be grateful. Willing to pay whatever the reasonable rate is, so please lemme know. Mail me at Loqheed@tmail.com and I'll reply immediately (email goes directly to my phone).
