Suspension Replacement
Any suggestions on best place to get my suspension ('94 ES300) worked on? I'm feeling every Bots Dot on the highway like I'm riding on just my rims....I'm also fairly sure that it's the original since the first owner was a little old lady from Tustin...
I'm not interested in lowering, or modding, or anything fancy...but I don't want to go to Midas either. Should I take to my indy mechanic and have him use OEM Toyota/Lexus parts? Take it to Toyota? Bite the bullet and go to Lexus (at least I'd get a loaner)??
Any advice on cost would be appreciated as well....

Getting new springs doesnt take long if u have the right tools. If your not interested in getting it lowered or anything why not just go to ur indy mech and have him install OEM? Or is he the Midas guy?

Don't have the tools, the time, or the patience for a DIY on this! I'm already trying to find the time to replace my climate control box!
My indy is a little more reputable (IMO) than Midas....I've never trusted the "Midas Touch"!

I am second iDrive.
I am a newb too and I just replaced my 2 front strut mounts in about 2-3 hours.
All you need is a jack, jack stand(s), a basic toolbox ( about 60$ ), and a spring compressor (free rental from Autozone).
