Default How much did you pay for coilover install on 3GS?

I am particularly interested in the cost to have coilovers installed on the 3GS. I have the Tanabe Pro Sustec Fives and I would like an idea of what others paid for any brand of coilover installation. Thanks.

ask your local mechanic. but I did the install myself for the rear...took me 2 hrs because I was doing the whole think myself.

fronts took 1 hr at my mechanic...but it was really easy for him...charged me a small fee.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like I am getting it done by a Lexus tech (with mod experience) for $100 as a side job. Interesting though that the dealership is ok with him doing the side job in their service bay. All good.

Don't pay more than $400 or $100.00 a wheel.

$100.00 is a phenomenal price, I would jump on it if you trust his work.
