it all depends on the shop...200-300 is pretty reasonable...make sure go to the reputable shop cuz they gonna need to do some fender work on it...

You think ill have to do fender work?? from reading some of the forums I figured I would be fine. My car is RWD and I'm running 20x8.5F and 20x10R with 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 and ill still need to do fender work?? Isn't Tanabe NF series the least lowering spring to buy? Oh and some of the shops I've called have been in the $450-550$ range. I personally think thats high.

Welcome to Clublexus we have discussed this in detail. Pay anywhere from $250-$350 from an independent shop and $450-$600 at Lexus.

I suggest going to the Southern Cali forum and there are tons of members/shops there that can point in a cheaper direction
