$120 to put on lowering springs - Toyota Yaris Forums

jaserhunter · 01-30-2009, 06:06 PM

I am getting my springs in a couple of weeks so i am checking on prices to put them on. i found a place that will put them on for 120 and give me a alignment for free when they settle. does that sound about right or sould i keep lookin for a better deal?

I would do it for 6 pack and a pizza if you were closer

jaserhunter · 01-30-2009, 06:12 PM

DEAL we'll have to get a 12 pack and 2 pizzas so i can do it with you and learn something at the same time.

The $120 is a great deal especially with an alignment. You'll have WAY more FUN with black yaris though!

jaserhunter · 01-30-2009, 06:19 PM

yeah that would be fun. hey garm i am still waitin on my check so when i comes in i goin to hit you up and get those springs and some more goodies. can make order over the phone i have a couple of ?'s for you

the beer and pizza is before the work, just to make it interesting.....

spring install is not all that hard though.... I did the rears in like 5 minutes, fronts took about an hour or so

$120 is a great deal for a shop to do the work. Keep in mind, most shops including mine charge between $60-$90 per hour for labor, plus a minimum lift time of $40 an hour.

Business need to make money just as everyone else in this world.

For $120, I'd pay that if I didnt do all my own work.

If you drove it to Seattle I would charge you $100 :)

Dude...$120 is a helluva deal. Go to the dealership and ask them 'how much.' You'll see how great a deal this is then.

Klink10 · 01-30-2009, 09:21 PM

I'm here in NC....buy me a steak dinner and I'll do it.

PreciousPups4U · 01-30-2009, 11:12 PM

I paid $150 for my install and then the alignment was $35. So, yes $120 is a great price.

Phaeton · 01-30-2009, 11:46 PM

The dealer quoted $900 lol.
I decided to do it myself.
