Anyone ever heard of these springs? They are about $200 bucks for a 2001 ES300. Drop is 1.60" front and rear.

Where would you go to get someone to do the drop for me?

Thanks

I'm looking into these as well for a quick drop. Guess I'll be looking into this thread as well haha

I'm looking for springs.....(after my leather seats go in)
I was looking at the k-sport springs, but 1.8 inches is too aggressive for me.
Sprint springs are generic, and i'm not sure about the quality either..
I've heard the Eibach lowering springs are the better ones.

The tein springs off the 00 solara also fit. Look around you'll see a pic of a second gen. with them.

yes, I have seen the car that he put them on, but it's a 2nd gen and I'm not sure if they fit the 3rd gens. Big question mark on that one.

^Bwaaa use the SEARCH tool. It has been discussed many times that the solara springs will fit a 2nd and 3rd gen es. I'm about to put them on mine once she gets back from paint. (STARFIRE PEARL WHITE ALL THE WAY BABY )

looks as though can get the Teins shipped to house for $170

Any idea of the cost to install these?

llcoolpass

well you should replace a bynch of stuff, but if you dont, it will change the price.

somwhere bettween 500 and 1000.

Pay the extra $5 for the insurance too its always good to have. If your doing just the struts and springs I would say under $400.

Sorry fellas but you need to be a bit more specific when you reply. Think of me as a total idiot when discussing this, so as to give me the details.

I just had all of my struts fixed. It was done at Sears and they don't do MODS so couldn't do the springs too.

With that said. What do I need to have done? I thought it was just having the springs installed.

No?

What do I exactly need to have done here and why would it cost between 500 - 1000 dollars?

Seems high.

The idea here was to put in lowering springs which go in like normal springs in when you did your struts since they have to come off to do this. Now about it costing $500_$1000 we are talking about other things that would have been an excellent idea to replace sine you had the struts off such as sway bar bushings, strut mounts...etc. Now that you already did your struts its a lil late and an idea for next time your cars suspension is "under the knife". Now if you were to go back and put in lowering springs which at that point you should replace your fronts struts as well and pray that you just paid for "good" rear struts you still are looking at another $400 or so in new labor. I just wish you had come by sooner so we could have "shown you the light" before you just put in new struts.
