In Canada, Toyota lists the install as a 2 hour job at the dealership. I don't know your shop rates, but I'm sure you can figure it out.
BTW for what you want (daily driver, covered by warranty) the TRD springs work fine. Improve looks and handling, but nothing radical.

my bad, guys. I got that "quote" from the local dealership when I bought my car. Since then, I've seen the kit go for $451.62 @ toyotapartsstore.com
that's with a pretty good discount and no installation obviously....maybe i will check it out if the Tein system doesn't get produced soon...

That's for the TRD lowering springs, made by Eibach for Toyota. I thought the drop looked like a bit more, but have been told that 1.2" is the correct amount.
