What is the going cost to install these shocks, I know a place to go to, just want to know a price so I know I'm not ripped off. I don't have any tools or place to do it myself, so I need to have it done.

TRD Sportivo Dampers are indeed KYB bodies but with TRD valving spec's.
Far from the stock performance of the OEM replacement KYB GR-2's which share the same outer body.

So, I got all the mods, I want to do for now. I really happy with the Tokico Blues, they're great, along with the TRD muffler.
