Default Can anyone help me install my prokit?

I have want to get some eibach prokits on my is 250 but Exact is charging 250 for labor. Can anyone in the area help me out with this install? I'll pay you but I would hope you wouldnt ask for much and would do it to help out a fellow Club Lexus member

$250 is a deal my friend. On an IS250 I'd leave it up to a professional. Exact all the way!

Just as a FYI. If you're struggling to part with $250 for install of springs, you're in for a rough ride my friend if you plan on doing more "mods" to your 250.

Maybe its easier to work on the newer suspensions? But The older Lexus suspensions at least are a ***** to work on ...... But even if its half the work on on an IS250, as it is on an old SC. I would have paid $250, rather than do mine over again......
Also Its 1 thing if you have an older model, or a project car that you want to do the work yourself.... But since were talking about such a new car, (a Lexus at that,).....
IMO , regardless of the cost, I wouldnt trust just anybody to work on a Lexus suspension . And risk them F-ing something up, and being disappointed .
I would have a competant professional (like John ) do it, and know its being done correctly. Or if it was too much $ to me, just not at all.

Where are you located?
Spring install on your car is really pretty easy. (compared to most other lexus cars) With hand tools it'd prob take about 4-6 hrs. With air tools and a lift... prob 2-3hrs. If you're close by, or willing to drive here I could help ya out. Let me know....

$250 is very good price for good 4 hrs work. I know most of shops will not take this job at this price, and don't forget the vehicle will need 4x wheel alignment after that.

GS400 here... I'd pay $400. This is why I went with a 400 not 430.
