cool, they actually let you install 205's on a 5.5" wide rim? doesn't look too buldged though.. all good all good.

We only charge $140 for spring install. This is for ANY car!

Wow, no wonder so many people like to DIY, labor costs for you guys are just insane... If any shop here quoted $200 for a spring install they'd get rocks thrown at them

I spent $220 on my trd springs (could've gotten the tein springs for $185 or $100 used dunno why I bought trd) ... and $60 on the install, why go to a garage when you can just look for some dude who has been messing around with cars their whole lifes and probably knows more about cars than the average mechanic

Most shops charge a hour labor per side. Which is almost a flate rate for most cars. Cept our cars which the rears are just shocks and take no more than 30 minutes to do the rear. I would esimate about 3 hours labor for all 4. Most you should pay is 300.

It's not mechanically difficult to do, but it sure helps if you have an air compressor and and the setup to compress the springs.

would TOYOTA still "HONOR" the warranty if u change ur springs?
what if u bought it from them their TRD?
anybody knows how much their charging for allignment...
