Default Cheapest place to install f-sport springs/shocks?

Dealer just quoted me $930 for labor. Just trying to figure out where can I get a cheaper quote to get these installed. Thanks!

Try posting in the regional forums and ask there. You could find a better answer there.

$50 bucks for a torque wrench and about 5.5 hours of your own time. Much better than $1000!!!

your suspension and anything wrong with your car they can link to your modified suspension will be affected. but i think you get 6 months or 1 yr warranty on fsport parts (not labor).

"F Sport Equipment is warranted for 12 months from the date of installation or for the balance of the new-car or Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) warranty in force at the date of installation, whichever is greater, when installed by an authorized Lexus dealer." - according to the website.

$930? Ouch! Spend that money on the jack, stands, tools, spring compressors, an air compressor, and beer. Heck, borrow the assistance of a local that perhaps knows whats up and share the beer.
