Average Cost for S/S install?
I just got my new set of L-Tuned Springs and Shocks. Searching for threads on here for what people paid was not helpful, unless the administrators can help me with the search. I do not have the time or the tools to DIY. So can some give me a cost estimate and recommendation of either Lexus Dealerships or Local Mienke or SpeedShop in the Maryland/DC/Va Area. Thanks.

Sewell Lexus here in Dallas, who I bought the S/S from, wanted $800. I went to another specialized Lexus shop and they charged me $500 with an alignment. If I had to do it again, I would have shopped around more. I should have done it myself and bought another mod for the $500

I got a quote for $850 from the dealership here in Chantilly, VA. I ended up paying $325 at a local tuner shop. Cheapest I found, and I called about 10 places. Most wanted around $450. These are all labor only prices.

i paid $250 for install at a local shop....but that was 3 yrs ago.
Since then....I've helped install coilovers on 3 different GS owners. Having the right tools is always good.

umm.... it's funny. those of us in cali we sometimes complains that it sux being in cali coz' we pay tax for a lot of stuff since most companies including carson toyota are in cali. but i guess we really make it up on labor and such. paying 250 bucks for s/s install, that would be called a total rip off here in cali

Well, I found a shop that'll do it for $250.00. Want to thank all of you for your response. I love the way the car drives with just the sway bars. Going to wait until I get the wheels to see is 1" drop of the TRD S/S will be enough or sell them and get somethind different.
