Toyota Canada increase the price of lowering spring!!

While I'm surfing over Toyota Canada website I just notice they increase A LOT the price of the lowering springs. I can't remember the exact price before, but it was around 400-450$! Now, the price is 728$!!!!!!

WHAT THE FUCK?????

Holy crap, now you mentioned it.
I just checked the toyota canada website, it is not 728.00, it is 911.60 for lowering spring.

I also paid mine for $500 at Peace Arch Toyota in whiterock.

That is almost twice as much

Is that an installed price for just the springs or the price for the springs and shocks (parts only)?

No no, it doesn't include any shocks/struts! It's only for the springs but I assume installation charge is included! I hope so...

BTW, it's doesn't have sense... 728$ for springs. It's the price of some great entry level coilovers who include shocks/struts!

It's real crap!!

Hell mine were $150 from Jay at C2AUTO. The springs were Tanabe and installation was free cause I did it myself. If Toyota sees they are in demand they will raise their price. Trust me it is a waste.
