Default SPRING INSTALLATION UNDER $250 in LA????????

Hey all!
I'm new to the Scion scene and I'm looking for someone that can install some Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs in the Los Angeles area for under $250. I've read some post on here that say some of y'all got the install for like $65. I've called around and cannot find anything under $200. Any help?

Call Island Motorsports. (714) 522-7457. It will be less than half of what you where quoted. No place charges $65.

Hey this is now my second post here on Scion Life.

Hey I live in the SGV, 626 AREA. There is a shop called AUTOLINK in ARCADIA/TEMPLE CITY. My friend got his install on his MR-2 for under $100. Sorry that I don't have more information for you. But it is located on Santa Anita Ave. / West Hondo. -- Hope I was of some help (doubt it)

welcome

and

WELCOME!

...doing the springs is really a walk in the park, and it gives you a chance to get comfortable with turnin wrenches on your ride! I'd say save the two fiddy for an iPod, and get out the jackstands!

It looks easy to DIY...
thing is I don't have jack stands and no place to work on it. I'm gonna try to get the dealership to install for me since they busted a center cap on my new 18"s. If not I'm going to ES in Gardena for a buck forty. thanks for all your input.
peace

Super Autobacs in stanton does it for a good price...Not 65 bucks but it was only like 100.00 for mine. If you havent been there it rocks!! Anything and everything under the sun for your ride. They say you can walk into that place with no car and build a car from the ground up. The website kinda sucks but you can spend hours in ther just looking and drooling.

i install them all day long for $50, but you gotta drive to Phoenix. Save the extra $200 for gas and a nice hotel.

trust us, when we say....install it yerself. Its easy. all ya need is a jack in jack stands and some metric wrenches and sockets. the walkthrough is easy to follow also. Me and my friend did it with the factory jack too.

gabe at precision muffler in milpitas, ca does the install for only $65. from LA to milpitas its roughly a 345 drive one way. so total round trip will be 690 miles. saying that the xA gets 38MPG ull be using 18 gallons total of gas at 2.65 per gallon, ull be paying about 50 for the gas. so if u cant find a place to do it under 250 might want to talk to gabe.
