Are you going to install the TEAS as well? I'm considering these myself...

Sorry Rehab...I kinda took over your thread, I wanted you to share my excitement too lol. I am getting quoted $180 including tax to get them installed...What you you guys think?

DIY. Pretty simple see that everything but the rear shocks are not assembled. Its almost a simple bolt on. I switched springs on my 3GS and its almost, if not the same as a 2IS.

$180 isn't bad, but from what I read people are paying $150 or so. For a job like these any of those tuner shops can do it for prolly 100 bucks, just look around if you don't want to do it yourself. I did it myself for reassurance that everything was done right.
