Front or rear or both? I will be putting on my TRD set in the spring. I don't know how mechanically inclined you are but it is a fairly straight forward install..

any place should be able to do this for you. dealer will be your most expensive option. try Ill Garage in Lombard. I think I gave there info when you wanted the springs installed.

Rear sway bar is typically an easier install.

i just talked to them about installing my megan midpipe, tanabe and springs. they said they could do everything for $400. Is this a good deal? i don't have access to a lift so just checking around. thx for the heads up on this place.

^Sounds good to me. Most shops will charge $150 to $200 for springs alone. Its easier when they have the car in the air to tackle everything. Great guys and good service. I had my custom exhaust done by them. Tell Tommy that your part of the Chicago Lexus Group and we sent you over. He knows my Red GS and he has a few other IS's that hes worked on from here.

Yes, springs are a pain!!! Need a lift and power tools.

much appreciated! should have everything ready to go in a month. now i just need to decide on what springs to get. looking for a decent drop with the gaps as close as possible, tein s-tech the way to go? i know coils would be the way to go but it's springs only for me right now.

I had Tein S Techs on my IS350 and was very happy with them. Best drop and ride IMO.
